| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 12, 2008 (Bottled) Hazy dark ruby with a very small head. Strongly smoky aroma with peaty malt, and some whisky-like alcohol. Very intense smoked-peaty-tarry-malty, salty flavor with some caramel syrup. Alcohol is well hidden, but burns in the aftertaste. Doesn’t change much with yeast. Almost full-bodied, liqueur-like palate with low carbonation. An extreme beer with huge amounts of salty-peaty-tarry smokiness - yet surprisingly pleasant and drinkable. The bottle size of 0.25l is well planned ahead, though... Hansen (2281), Randers, Denmark

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Mums det er lækkert men ikke kønt. Uklar rødbrun og næsten intet skum. lidt gær flyder rundt i glasset. Der er godt med røg og bål i den duft. Det dufter fuldstændig som i gamle dage til punkkoncert i det besatte hus i Mindegade. Der blev altid tændt bål og næste dag lugtede alt ens tøj sådan her.der er også noget tobak, karamel, sød maltet, mørke tørrede frugter, og godt med alkohol og træ. Smager endnu mere af røg og bål og let spegepølse. Lidt skarp alkohol som brænder, mørke frugter, honning og tobak. Let karboneret, let olieret og lang bitter røget eftersmag. luk øjnene og nyd denne øl. Theis (3756), Denmark

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Bottle. Reddish brown color, hazy. Smoky aroma. Ash, cigars, mango. Malty sweet flavor initially, but the sweetness is challenged by a firm smokiness like from peat, tar, cigars. Banana and mango. Medium bodied. Very well balanced, if you like smoke. The alcohol is hardly noticed. A brave and excellent beer.
