Dark brown in colour with small head. Smoky aroma, smoke/bacon taste, almost like sucking on a bonfire (not that I have tried doing that). Surprisingly easy to drink. Had this many times in the bottle. lithy (1650), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 26, 2009 Pours a clear red-brown with a loose off white pancake batter head. Just liquid bacon grease. There could be nothing better, smoke, over a heavy dark body to support it. Taste is more smoldering campfire smoke, bacon and bbq smoker fumes. swooper (426), Kladno, Czech Republic

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Mar 21, 2009 Aroma: smoke.
Flavour: smoke
Mouthfeel: Surprisingly light.
You won’t forget tasting one of these.
I’m not a fan of smoked beers, but I did prefer this one over the Readoak Rauch (which to me tasted like bacon and burnt mash).
Probably they taste better in Bamberg.

| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Mar 21, 2009 500ml bottle. A dark brown beer with a moderate biege head. Striking nose of smoked bacon. The taste is similar but not as prominent as the aroma would suggest. Hardly any sweetness to balance It out. Left an unpleasant burnt taste in my mouth afterwards that lasted for hours and spoilt the food I was eating. I guess smoked beers are not for me but I’ll give anything a try once. fata2683 (860), Panama City, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2009 on tap at Pivovarsky Klub in Prague, pours dark brown, medium tan head, dark lacing left around the glass. BBQ and grilled steak aroma(Burger King?) Haha, smells like burning wood. Sweetend dark malt, meets smoke. Just smoke, but good smoke, very good. danielst (137), Vienna, Austria

You’ll have to try, I guess. Very smokey aroma, but also some Schwarzbier-like roasted malt and sweetness. The taste is smokey too, but some sour hints and a very nice tickling on the tongue are noticeable as well. Lingering medium bitter finish, somewhat reminiscent of coffee, only better. Gooood.
