| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Dec 16, 2009 Another masterpiece...this isn’t quite as robust as the marzen, but still packs a fantastic smokey punch. If the marzen is hickory-smoked bacon, this is applewood-smoked bacon, delicious. Toxygen (353), Sanford, Florida, USA

The smoke aroma is very faint and the beer looks and smells like a dunkelweizen. On the flavor the smoke and tar are quite prominent, but don’t cover all the wheatness. Very enjoyable.

Flavor follows with notes of clove and a slight touch of banana coming through... medium thin body/mouthfeel... Smoked bacon... Good breakfast beer in the right context...
