From the bottle, it pours a hazy amber with a small head, slowly dissipating. A touch of smoke in the nose. A bit of smoke adds to the Vollbier in the mouth as well, enjoyably.

I ordered Pax Bräu from bayern-biere.de and thought you might want to check out his site, though it's only in German.
[my loose translation of the below text]
First, he founded his brewery in Oberfranken in 2007, a maverick too. It's a self-professed one-man-show. He rails agains the conglomerate beers and their "uniform beer," which dominate the market, and he wants a unique taste and proven quality as well as individual accents. That's why Pax Bräu uses traditional production methods, organicly grown ingredients from his region as well as renewable energy.
What I really like about this brewer is his philosophy and ability to think outside the box and innovate while being traditional. Check out his resumé. First he was in Ho Chi Min City, then a few German places, then China, then Russia and finally opened his own place.
The fact that he's doing it in traditional Oberfranken is cool, too. Actually, it's on the Bavarian side near the eastern German state of Thüringen.
Now to the Vollbier:
Aroma is very maltly, a little caramel but no smoke as stated above, but very strong and full.
Initially, a lot of malt flavor, and I mean A LOT, which is great, but embedded inside that is a smokey flavor bursting out. However, unlike a normal Rauchbier, the smokiness is not the main aspect you taste; rather, it's a nice compliment to the Caramel or Münchener malts inside. This is a great beer.
