prospector49 (2), Omaha, Nebraska, USA does not count Aug 28, 2008 Tasted onsite in Merkendorf. But it was quite unremarkable, although this was the beer I’d looked forward to. This IS my favorite style. But the smoke flavor was almost indistinguishable. Schlenkerla in Bamberg is far and away the ultimate. fonefan (4468), Ulfborg, Denmark Aug 13, 2008 Bottle 50cl @ [ Tasting by Maria ]. Clear medium red brown color with a average to large, frothy - creamy, good lancing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, smoke, peat notes, butterscotch notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium to light full, texture is oily - syrupy, carbonation is soft. Very nice ;o)) (060608) Borresteijn (542), Amstelveen, Netherlands Jul 21, 2008 On tap @ In de Wildeman. Amber colour, off white head. Nose of smoke, perfume and malts. Taste is smoke, bitterness and perfume. I like smoked, but this was too much for me. I couldn’t get through to the actual flavours (if there were any). Maria (3975), Thisted, Denmark Jun 13, 2008 Red-brown with a nice, creamy head. The aroma has a lot of nice smoke, hints of peat and sweetness and a touch of butterscotch. The flavour has a nice sweetness, nice smoke and a slightly dry grapefruit bitterness and notes of eel-skin. It’s very harmonic and not too sweet – it’s really nice. martinboer (1333), Amsterdam, Netherlands Jun 12, 2008 On tap at Wildeman, Amsterdam. Very smokey nose. Strong overpowering taste of bacon. Then the flavours open up to include charchoal, caramel and toffee. Not my favourite style but well done. A really clean Smoked Doppelbock.
