"this dark lager gets its special twist from a hefty addition of Bamberg smoked malt."

22 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass.
The beer pours a dark brown almost black. Very little head.
The smell was definately less smokey than I anticipated. It is there and detectible, but is paired with a dark chocolate and malty smell.
Taste is very similar to the smell. Not a lot of smoke flavor. Rather, the dark chocolate and cocoa flavors are there on the front end. Very malty and a bit sweet. Very pleasant.
Beer drinks much easier than anticipated. If you are looking for a good smoked beer, this may not be for you. However, this is a very well done porter that has some really good flavor.
