Bottle, many thanks herrklemann! Murky brown color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, earthy, some fruits as well. Taste is chocolate, bready, sweetish, a bit herbal-earthy. Fruity aftertaste. Medium to high carbonation, quite yeasty. Not bad!

Bottle, gusher, many thanks herrklemann! Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is grapefruit, a bit buttery, peach. Taste is the same, with some earthiness. Oily mouthfeel, low carbonation (but the gushing took most of the carbonation away I guess). Okay.

Bottle, many thanks herrklemann! Hazy amber-orange color with white head. Aroma is peach, citrus oils, rye spice, bready. Taste is peach and citrus again, rye spice breadiness and some sweetness. Sweet fruity finish. Oily mouthfeel, natural carbonation. Not too interesting, but quite nice in terms of complexity and balance!

Bottle, many thanks herrklemann! Amber color with soapy beige head. Aroma is resinous, citrusy, caramel and toffee. Taste is mostly the same, with a nice interplay of toffee malts and resinous hops. Oily mouthfeel. Decent, but nothing exciting.

Bottle, many thanks herrklemann! Hazy orange color with small white head. Aroma is chili flesh, herbal, piment, some malts. Taste is bready, with an instant chili bite. Quite one-dimensional, but still in a way that fits my liking. Silky mouthfeel. Hot aftertaste. Definitely not bad if you are into chili.

0,1l from tap at Craft Bier Fest Wien shared through 3. copper hazy color, small white head. smells strongly of incense, light smoke, bit earthy. I like incense so good smell, but bit weird for a beer :P full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes herbal, junipers, light smoke, lightly fruity, hints of alcohol. finishes lightly dry with notes of juniper and some herbs. I rather like it, quite unique, quite enjoable too.

Draught at CBF Wien.
Amber, hazy body, with a medium, creamy, light yellow head.
Aroma of olibanum indeed, some honey, some flowers, some sweet fruits, slight bread.
Taste continues with the olibanum, but a bit more herbal, while also sweet, with flowers, honey, fruits, bread.
Light, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes medium herbal, floral, a bit spicy, a bit sweet, a bit bready.
Really interesting. The olibanum is pretty dominant and works surprisingly well, especially in the nose, with a fresh impression. Otherwise the underlying beer isn’t that special, but a nice, unique idea overall.

Hazy, golden colored, strong white puffy head, bit overfoaming, nice lacing. Aroma is of strong burnt plastic, smoke, some malt and very light meat. Taste is medium sweet malt, caramel, smoke but overpowered by burnt plastic, peat, moderate bitterness, dry lasting bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied, lively carbonation. Way off...

Hazy, golden to amber colored, medium off white head, overfoaming, good lacing and lasting. Aroma is of some malt, bit dirty yeasty, citrus, floral and some fruit, moderate hoppy aroma. Taste is medium sweet malt, some caramel-crystal, citrus grapefruit and floral hops, moderate aroma and bitterness, light harshness, dry finish, touch of alcohol and warming. Medium bodied, average+ carbonation, oily. Bit harsh and the alcohol bit take it down... (bottle, Bierboutique Graz)
