Commercial Description:
The 'Smoky Bishop' is a regal beer, resounding with dense and lush chocolate and coffee notes. As indicated, this beer is based on the dark lagers of Munich, Germany and is, as far as the brewers are concerned, a rewarding and hedonistic beer.

On tap Perth Food and Wine Show, sour and acrid diacetyl and vomit on the nose and on the palate, truly woeful, why serve this at a show?

I was worried when the head flowed out of the bottle a little, but there was nothing wrong with it. This is a very nice, very subtle, dark lager. The smokey flavour is very light and is complimented by some tasty porter-esque chocolatey malts. Nothing is too heavy or sticks out harshly, and the finish is pleasant. It was not quite what I was expecting but I would imagine this beer is very true to the style, and is surprisingly quite refreshing.

Golden-brown colour. Vanilla nose with caramel notes. Slightly smokey, toffeeish, tea-like. Fairly thin body with a finish that gets grainy and metallic late.

Bottle, special procurement. Amber color. Not quite a dunkel hue but looks pleasant enough. Lots of rising bubbles. Vanilla-forward nose. Some cream. Sweetish body. thin. Chocolate with metallic hop finish. Solid sweetness is rounded by a mildly hopped finish. Tastes a lot like a cream beer but not a bad effort.
