Bottle (#190). Clear, brown with a lasting beige head. Smokey aroma that reminds me of "ålerøget" salami and it has chocolate and caramel notes too. Flavour is like aroma, but a little more dominated by the smoke. Medium bitterness and appropriate body. Well since there is used 98 % smoked malt I would recommend the brewer to change brand, it needs more smoke aroma and flavour. However the body, colour and balance between bitterness and sweetness are fine.

Jan 4, 2008 [VINTAGE 1,5 YEAR.] Funny to see how this brew changed to an IPA or just Pale ale after cellaring for "long" time. Almost no smoke left, but hazy orange flowers in a very wellbalanced way. Must try the same with refsvindinge skibsøl!

Nov 6, 2007 Shared by Christian at GABF 2006. Poured a hazy dark brown color with a foamy tan head. Nice smooth smoke over a good roasted malt make up the aroma. The flavor was mostly roasted malt with a pleasant smoke balance.

Oct 16, 2007 500 ml bottle, via Papsoe I believe. Pours a clear (on first pour) amber under a fizzy foamy one finger beige head that left lots of clingy lacing. On the nose there’s a good amount of campfire smoke, but maybe not enough for my tastes. A little bacon, some crackery toasted malt, and a touch of rubber. On the flavor, the smoke is just a little muddled, and there’s an off-putting burnt rubber note on the finish. I’m missing the smoked meat and campfire flavor that I crave from a Smoked. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly fizzy prickly carbonation. That rubber note really lingers on. Overall, a pretty big disappointment, especially for a Smoked beer fan.
