Bradrcr (554), Renton, Washington, USA Jun 29, 2008 6/14/08 On draught at the Washington Brewers Festival. Aroma is classic german smoked malt through and through. Appearance is hazy gold with a moderate maintained off white head. Flavor is smoked roast malt forward with a sour finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a spritzy carb texture. Overall, not a strong rausch but quite refreshing. goldtwins (3721), Nesconset, New York, USA Jun 28, 2008 Poured a hazed golden yellow with an off-white head. Smoky caramel aroma. The flavor also of caramel malt and a mild smoke. Not bad but nothing that stands out. Sledge Jr (2708), Omaha, Nebraska, USA May 28, 2008 In the bomber bottle from Seattle Bottleworks. Pours a light amber/ dark gold color with a thin white head. The aroma is of intense smoke- not Bamberg campfire intensity, but a really pleasant roasted meat variety. This is the best feature of the beer by far. The flavor is very disappointing and lapses into a thin and simple lager. No meatiness, nothing chewy and certainly not smoky enough for me. The body is quite watery. Overall, I can do without this one, but she sure smells nice. puzzl (1715), New York, New York, USA May 15, 2008 Bottle at Paul’s gathering. Lightly smoked, vegetal, lactic. Flavor is harshly vegetal, hammy, smoked eggplant. Very dull. This aint no Aecht. Rciesla (712), Brick City, New Jersey, USA May 13, 2008 Bottle at pauls tasting. Pours amber with white head. Aroma is smoky bacon. Flavor is smoke, malt with a touch of soy. good.
