Bejaaamin (110), London, Ontario, Canada Jul 29, 2009 Way too smokey for my taste. Near overpowering. If you wonder what fire tastes like, this is it. The only other flavour there is nuts, but its very subtle. mkel07 (494), Brisbane, Australia Jul 25, 2009 500ml bottle. black in colour with a nice even crisp off white head. Wonderful aroma of smoked almonds that fills the nose - very nice. First smoked beer and it tastes as good as it smells with a strong smoky burnt flavoured bitterness that lingers in the mouth. Not a beer that you would drink every day. scrizzz (1246), kirkland, Washington, USA Jul 20, 2009 oh hell yes. dark ruby in the light, black in the glass with a tall creamy white head. campfire aroma, instantly nostalgic with happy thoughts. Heavy smoked alder charcoal, singular but awesome. smoky tasty lingering and spot on. travita (1851), Frisco, Texas, USA Jul 19, 2009 Dark brown in color decent beige colored head. The smell is heavy smoke, wood, bbq, malts, smells like a meal. Taste cannot quite compete, malts, wood, smokey, ash tray. BroSpud (583), , Massachusetts, USA Jul 17, 2009 Bottle. This is the only smoked beer I have tasted so I can’t really compare it to any others. Very interesting though I can’t decide if I like it or not. I am overwhelmed by the smoke flavor. I was really impressed at first but by the end I found it tough to finish the bottle. It is definitely worth trying once though. drjay44 (756), Salida, Colorado, USA Jul 17, 2009 500 ml. bottle. Pours a thin beige head, over a clear reddish brown black body (SRM 35).....nose is primarily smoke, with a bit of grilled meat, and sweet malts.....taste initially is toffee, then balanced by smoke and then mild hop bitterness....mouth feel is relatively light, carbonation low. Smoked beers are interestingly different from each other. This one is a campfire in a glass. Listigovers (96), Ontario, Canada Jul 15, 2009 500cl. First Rauchbier, the smoky smell is phenomenal, I’d rate the aroma an 11 if I could. Aroma is smoked meat, slightly woody, and a bit of alcohol. EXTREMELY aromatic. Pours out dark, orangy red when held up to light. Moderate to large head which disappears quickly. Very smooth, the smoky flavour is thick and builds with each sip, don’t be fooled if the smokiness doesn’t blow you away in the first mouthful. Interesting beer, I am drinking it slightly too warm and wish I let it cool down a little longer. Overall, quite good. topherh (878), Kearney, Missouri, USA Jul 14, 2009 Pours clear brown with a small off white head. Aroma is smoky. Flavor is smoke and smoked meat. If you like smoked beer this is for you.
