The beer pours a nice off-white brownish bubbly head that dissipates quickly. The beer itself is a clear dark mahogany brown that looks really good.
The smell is delicious. It has a sweet caramel smell mixed with a smokey and roasted malt note.
The taste contains the same notes as the smell but with a hop bitterness as well.
The feel is pretty good. It has a medium heavy body with biting carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall, this is a delicious and well-brewed beer worth getting.

Crystal clear deep amber with dense off-white head, good retention, thin rings of lace
Deep smoky aroma.
Deep smoky flavor over toasty, bready malt. Just enough hops to balance
Medium bodied and appropriately carbonated
Really well made rauchbier.

From the pint can, it pours a clear reddish amber color with a modest, though lasting light tan head. The nose gets a nice dose of smoke, followed by a sweetish malt. The taste follows the nose, with a nice smokiness coming through. Feel is in the middle, just about right. Lightly smoky aftertaste as well.

From a pint can into a draught glass. Pour has a 1/3" head of light khaki foam that quickly settles to a thin layer over a clear reddish-amber body with some effervescence. First on the nose is the scent of smoke that mixes in with a sweeter toasted malt note. Taste is smoky, toasty, a touch sweet (caramel), and an all around treat. Feel is on the medium side with effervescence bouncing on the tongue. Overall a very enjoyable offering!

16oz can poured into a snifter
A- pours a clear amber color with a ruby hue, one finger foamy white head that reduces to a ring around the glass
S- some subtle smoke on the nose, giving aromas of campfire, smoked ham and a hint of bandaid. Undertones of brown sugar and doughy malt
T- slightly sweet and malty up front with a trace of caramel. Mid-palate brings out a moderate amount of smoke, adding some smoked pork undertones. The finish drinks a bit like a marzen with some toasted bread and more caramel. Lingers of moderate smoke and sweet malt
M- light-medium body with moderate carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into a crisp finish
