Sep 7, 2004 Updated: Jul 18, 2005This beauty pours rich and dark with a frothy head and a heavy smoked aroma. To me, it was like drinking some of the German sausages that I ate as a kid. Great stuff, but very filling. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 RAYBOY01’s Fridge<font size=-1>

Mar 22, 2008 Poured into my Eichhof dimpled mug. Body comes up to the .5L line with a full two fingers of creamy tan head floating up top. The burnt umber liquid is a bit hazy from yeast.
Aroma hits like a ton of bricks. Epic smoked ham explodes from the head, even more so than the Urbock. That’s really the only note I can pick up because it’s so strong and overriding.
The meatiness is toned down in the flavor, taking on more of a smoky campfire character. Underneath the salty twang, there’s a really smooth maltiness that finishes surprisingly clean. There’s a little bitterness in the finish too, but I can’t figure out if it’s hops or a charred remnant of the smoked malt.
Smooth and easy drinkin’ despite the extreme flavor. Medium body and perfect carbonation.

Mar 1, 2008 Bottle.
Deep brown in color. Aromas of wood and campfire smoke. Good body weight. Smoke really comes through on the finish, which is fairly long. Would go great with like a smoked salmon fillet.

Jun 23, 2008 Pours a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma of barley, smoke and malt. Flavor is smokey bacon, meats, woods, and malt. Holy cow, I feel like i’m drinking smoked briskquet, yet this is very well done. Finish is mesquite smoked brisquet and mesquite. Very nice smoked beer.

Mar 14, 2008 What a unique experience...beautiful brick red body with 1/4 inch caramel head. Backyard barbeque floods through the nose. The flavor is that of roasted pork with notes of molasses, coffee, and oak. Bring out the burgers, throw down some dogs...this will be the perfect compliment.

Aug 31, 2008 (From bottle at home on August 24, 2008 with weeAnaP with prune stuffed pork) Light, creamy white head atop a dark mohogany semi-clear smoky delicasy. No carbonation. Aroma is of super smoky barbecue. Can’t tell the real difference between this and the urbock. Flavor is PERFECT with prune-stuffed pork loin! WeeAnaP loved it!!! She said, "yummy!" Yep... smoky goodness and uber-yummy!

Jun 8, 2008 Pours a dark brown reddish rusty color. Aroma is smoked spiced sausage and campfire. Very robust flavor of grilled sausage or pork. The roasted malts really supports the smoky flavors. Very creamy and a nice medum-full body. Not quite as good as the Urbock, but definitely close to it.
