Dark brown in colour really quite roasty, decent choccyness, will try another of my bottles at home. Beer2000 (1846), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2008 500 ml bottle. Dark reddish brown body with a beige head. Aroma is slightly roasted malt with lots of smoke and tar. Flavor is roasted malt, some caramel, hops and a powerful smoked whisky flavor with peat and a hint of liquorices. This beer is not to heavy whiskey flavored and actually quite nice and easy to drink. I like the Bamberg flavor a bit better with this darker malty beer than the smoked lager version. Very pleasant. evanrail (41), Prague, Czech Republic

As I wrote elsewhere: this is no Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier — the smoke here is much more understated, closer to the version (or versions) from Spezial. It’s deep ruby with a nice sandy head and a nose of malt, oats and honey. After a semi-sweet gulp on the tongue, there’s an aromatic, Montecristo-peppery smokiness. The finish is lasting but not overbearing. Very nice! DSG (1515), Tel Aviv, Israel

Pours deep mahogany with a small, creamy, off-white film head. Aroma is sweet, quite a lot of smoke and medium roasted. Okay mouthfeel, perhaps a touch on the thin side. Flavour is soft, some chocolate, well roasted with lots of smoke. Just a bit too much smoke with too little mouthfeel.
