Aroma heavy on the smoke with some roasted malt and hop to round it off. Taste initially is nice and smokey then progresses into a lingering hoppy finish. I really liked this one. I was just slightly disappointed the smoky flavor wasn’t more pronounced. I will give it another shot though. chicagodri (1057), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 22, 2009 650 ml bottle courtesy of sparky27. 2008 on the bottle. This beer pours a murky dark brown color with a big khaki head that has great retention and crazy lacing. The aroma is big and bold with smoked kielbasa and bacon. The flavor is liquid BBQ a good malt backbone and a touch of biter hops adding nice complexity. The finish is long with lingering smoky meats and bitter walnuts. The mouthfeel is full and malty, with just a little bit of grit. Overall: wow great beer, on par with the schlenkerlas (sp?) thanks for chance to try this one.

Poured a deep opaque black with a thick tan head. Lots of carbonation. Smokey nose with some smoked sausage. Some hops in the aroma as well. Lots of barbecue style smoke in the flavor. Pretty good amount of hop bitterness in the finish. Long lingering finish of smoke and drying hops. Some black patent malt comes out as it warms. Piney hops as well. I like a good smoked beer, and this was top notch. fiver29 (723), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Medium heavy mouthfeel. Flavor is more smoke, some chocolate, coffee, is creamy, and finishes with roasty smokiness. A very nice brew. One of the best smoke brews I’ve tried. thornecb (1778), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA
