De Club del Gourmet de El Corte Ingles. En copa Teku. De compras online por Hopt, aprovechando rebajas (KBS a 2.80!!!) Ahumado presente pero bastante suave y acompañado de un dulzor que lo hace asequible para cualquier paladar. Cuerpo muy ligero, aguado.

Finger plus head depth, tan color and even surface, poor retention, there’s little lacing but that is there is thick. Impenetrably cloudy liquid, an orange-brown which fades towards yellow rust at the edges, barely any visible bubbles. The smokiness in the nose is compact while strong, has a tarry, earthy side to it, orange peel, apricot pits, good amount of raw grains, the metallic element grows over time, has a cleaner dissolve than lingering pungency. Medium-bodied, soft carbonation leads to a soaking into the palate as much as creating a lasting mouth perfume. The smokiness is not really that dominant, however, there’s not much else to challenge it. Iron, tar, charcoal, damp earth likeliest candidates. Solid amount of orange peel and peach, apricot fruit. There’s something tentative about it, like it holds back when it could be going more full throttle.

Pours a murky dark amber, bright brown color with a medium sized head, revealing a plethora of tiny bubbles.

Smells pleasantly smoky, with a dried wood bark quality, bonfire and toffee malts. Has got a banana clove atop of this foundation, which blends surprisingly well into the profound smokiness.

Reveals a soft mouthfeel with a lighter body, which turns a tad effervescent during the finish, with a lively carbonation coming up.

Tastes of molasses, rock sugar, cardamom and scented wood, from which a pungent smokiness arises. This gets accompanied by a lactic tartness, which opens up the balate to a herbal dryness. Tartness slowly takes over the smokiness, lacks some balance as it swallows most of the other flavors, with a late wood quality settling at the back end.

Powerful interpretation of a smoked lager with a surprisingly pungent lactic aspect, which overpowers the earthy malts during the finish.
