Light wood-smoke, not overwhelming, with a caramel/malty Vienna lager character about it. I'd love to compare it to other Aecht Schlenkerla rauchbiers but it's been a very long while since I've tried one.
Very smooth bready doppelbock, light banana but otherwise super-mellow. The rest of the flavor is wood-smoke, very strong. I liked it but others had issues with the intensity of the smoke.
Has the typical Helles sweetness but with a decent amount of smoke (they say this isn't made with smoked malt, but it's actually smokier than some that are). Medium bitterness on the end, but this isn't exactly crisp - the smoke and sweetness interact to create a slightly sticky finish - but it's quite tasty.
My review is the exact same as last time. This is the most wonderful thing in the world to sit and smell, but I never want to drink any again.
Why the hell can't they just make a scented bag or candle?
This had an amazing smoky flavor .I have a co-worker who gets a whole pig a few times a year, and butchers and smokes it himself .I got a cut of bacon from him once that was to fire for .This is what it smelled like.
However, this beer just tastes like the smoky smell, it's completely overwhelming. So, a wonderful thug to smell, mediocre to drink
Moderate wood-smoke flavor on top of a chewy but dry märzen base. Some folks didn't like the smoke at all, but this was - I thought - a good example of a balanced smoked beer. What surprised me the most was the strong bitterness that closed, which I didn't enjoy. The rest was decent, though.
Quite funky. Very interesting as well, the smoked malts are quite obvious and present and the wheat funkiness + smoke is an interesting combination. I would exactly call it pleasant though...
