(bottle) The bouquet reminds me of Parma bacon. Dark red-amber colour with a thick lightly tanned head. The smoked bacon aroma leaves not much room for more, but is great anyway. Even the initial taste is quite smoky, but offers a lot of more impressions; flavours of smoked bacon, toasted malts and burnt wood with a long dry finish, crispy carbonated and lighter bodied than expected. I have to visit Bamberg to get the whole bunch of its great beers as soon as possible.

Sep 4, 2008 500ml Bottle: Nice smoke aroma that smells of a smoke-house, candle-smoke, smoked cheese, ski lodge, and a hint of burning logs. Poured dark amber/medium brown in color with a large, dense, rocky, tan head that shrank but lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor of smoke, smoke-house, candle-smoke, smoked cheese, ski lodge, and a hint of burning logs. Medium body. Smooth, creamy texture. Soft carbonation. Smoke smoke smoke finish. Even though I am not a big smoked beer fan, the smokiness and the complexity of the flavor in this beer really impressed me.

Sep 2, 2008 Brown pour with a dark red tint. Clear with light tan head. Very smoky, woody aroma with malt. Bitter malt flavor with tons of smoke. At first it reminds you of some good barbecue but after drinking half a glass I felt like I had just smoked half a pack of cigarettes. Maybe this just isn’t my style.

Sep 1, 2008 (bottle) clear, dark ruby-brown colour, wonderful head. aroma is an assortment of heavily smoked dark meats over a herbal hoppy background. the beer is smooth with mild carbonation. a solid malt base and the herbal hop bitterness promote the dominant flavours: smoked meat, grilled sausage and a faint woodiness. a wonderfully smooth, well-balanced beer!

Aug 31, 2008 (From bottle at home on August 24, 2008 with weeAnaP with prune stuffed pork) Light, creamy white head atop a dark mohogany semi-clear smoky delicasy. No carbonation. Aroma is of super smoky barbecue. Can’t tell the real difference between this and the urbock. Flavor is PERFECT with prune-stuffed pork loin! WeeAnaP loved it!!! She said, "yummy!" Yep... smoky goodness and uber-yummy!
