Nov 30, 2001 Lovely beer that has a malty tast, that makes the smokiness very mellow. It takes a pint to get used to, but then ....

Big smokey bacon aroma, rich malt backdrop. Not one to drink all night, but certainly one to drink.

Dec 29, 2001 A very pleasant combination of smokiness and maltiness, excellent companion to red meat.

Oct 9, 2002 Updated: Jul 5, 2004Original rating: 9th October 2002. Bottled - Some brought me it back from Germany. Dark brown, the large head diminishes quickly. Very smoky aroma. The smoky flavour masks all else - I didn’t think I’d like it, but I did. (3.5/5)
Rerate: 6th July 2004. I much prefer this than I did before. The smokey flavour isn’t sickly, and adds to the entire beer. Oddly refreshing and thirst quenching. (4.3/5). I will put in a total of 4.3 as my tastes have changed, not the beer.

Sep 12, 2002 Phenomenally smoky, but not as much so as the Urbock. A symphony of flavors pour forth from this beer. It’s in-between Urbock and Weizen in terms of smokiness.

Sep 18, 2003 Pours a clear deep auburn red, no lacing but a nice sized head. Aroma is deliciously smokey like a really nice sausage or salami, maybe even salmon. Flavor has the perfect amount of smoke in it with some nice complexities of crystal malt. I don't know about a 5 Oakes, but this beer is pretty damn good. If you really like smoked meat or jerky, you'll like this beer. If not, well, you make your own conclusions. I could drink this for hours on end, it is relaxing and smooth once you really get into this bottle.

Dec 30, 2002 What a great beer. I had this in Berlin 4 years ago and saw it at a nearby store. It wasn’t as smokey as I expected. Maybe that’s because I’m in the kitchen grilling lamb chops. The smokiness makes it seem spicy. It is very well balanced. An excellent beer
