Very deep amber-brown color with a big bubbly beige head. Aroma of smoked sausages, some malty and caramel. Sweet smoky flavor with some sausage, some caramel, bread and a quite bitter and hoppy finish. Medium-bodied with a very rounded mouthfeel. sirPino (855), Zawiercie / Żywiec, Poland

Rated: 25.07.2008
Bottle brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours amber red to violet with brown shades, carbonation of the body is initially lively but more like reminding a fizzy drink and body quickly decarbonates. Head is initially small to medium, decreasing and finally disappearing after about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Head is fizzy, grey in colour, unstable, bubbly.
Aroma: Nice intense and focused aroma of strongly smoked malt. This aroma is dominating over the other additional accents of sweetness of a Märzen like beer lying somewhere at the background. Hard to distinguish in terms of hoppyness as the hoppy aroma is violated by smoke. No alcohol present.
Flavour: Nice focused smokyness, a bit wattery. Soft front but that only makes the beer lighter and invites you to the easy going drinking. Really superior Smoked beer as compared to ’Nessie Whisky Malt Red Beer’. Finish is sandy, slightly bitter and slightly salty on palate with notes of smoked meat. Very good with red meat dishes, veal.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is soft, finish feel is smoky, ashy, gently chalky. ToddA (16), California, USA

Nose is bitter smoky. Aroma is thick smokey bitter. Excellently composed beer, it turns to bitter hoppy but the smokey scent keeps dominating. A bit heavier body would make it perfect. kamish (92), Lake Stevens, Washington, USA
