bottle bought in Systembolaget - Stockholm. Appearance: dark mahogany to brown color. Medium and beige head. Aroma: smoky and toasty mainly. Reminiscences of wood, smoked meat, sodium, salt, charcoal, sausage and leather. Flavor: the smoke touch fill the mouth, is intense and lasting. Meaty reminiscences like cow meat, sodium, cured meat, leather and bacon. Also, the roasted malts, wood and some of toasted hazelnuts. Palate: medium body and low carbonation. Remark: the most intense smoked beer that I’ve tasted (extremely smoky), maybe unique in your style but these style isn’t my favorite.

Clear deep amber with tiny off white head. Smoked aroma with roasted malt and caramel notes. Flavour has peated malt, roasted malt and bacon notes.

Dark brown-ruby beer with a delicious tan lacing head. Smoked bacon aroma with caramel and fine malt in the background. The smoked flavor dominates the creamy body with fine malt, some fruity tastes, the wooden casks. Fine smoked finish.

A clear dark brown colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma is very smokey, at first I thought about smoked ham. There are some malts and hop in the back. The taste of smoked malt, There are bitters and sweets, The aftertaste is a little bittersweet.

Bottle - (rating made without apostraphies or commas just in case) Pours a crystal clear deep mahogany red color with a small foamy light tan head. Aroma is full of crisp smokeyness chewy malts heavy caramel notes of raisens and cherries. Flavor has a ton of smoke and chewy malts tart cherries sticky raisens touch of cream with a well balanced finish. Although Im not a huge fan of smoked beers this is still pretty darn good.

Pour is copper brown. Peaty meaty aroma. Flavor is lighter bodied than expected with a dry finish. Not as complex as I though this would be. Smoked is not my preference, especially in a beer like this where there is not much else going on. Not offputting, but a tad boring IMO, unless you are just a sucker for smoked and not much else. Personally, I tend to prefer the marriage of a porter or stout and smoked, or some other concoction along those lines.

Pours clear brown with a smallish head. Aroma of campfire smoke, toasted malt, and dried meat. Palate is medium-light, with soft carbonation. Finish is long, but clean. Flavors are well balanced, given that I was prepared for another smoked-meat bomb like Bieropholie’s Grand Chef. Yes, there was smoke, but by mid-palate it was complemented wonderfully with sweet chocolate and caramel malt. Really enjoyable, and dear I say, drinkable. This deserves the consistently solid rating it receives.
