Beautifully clear amber - copper pour with 2 + fingers of tight bubbly light reddish tan head.
The aroma is not dissimilar to hickory smoked bacon that I may have slightly overcooked, smokey caramel malt with essence of backyard campfire attached to my favourite jacket.
Tastes of the sweet but smokey caramel malt, bready - the smokiness seems subdued compared to the aroma at first sip but then announces with that meaty smoked bacon, campfire infused earthy hops and perhaps just a hint of floral note. But smoked malt carries.
Smooth smokey sweet with a lighter end of medium mouthfeel - decent carbonation - the slightly thinner body really is all that does not take this to the master level of Schlenkerla beers.

1L howler from the brewpub, released on the day after I was just there. Good thing I like to support my local breweries, eh?
This beer pours a slightly hazy, dark bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent scattered cloud form lace around the glass as it lazily subsides.
It smells of meaty and gamey caramel malt, a heady free-range ashiness, and very little else of note. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a bit of biscuity toffee, bacon flavoured bacon bits, damp beechwood campfire smoke, a weak earthy fruitiness, and some very muted leafy, weedy, and floral noble hop bitterness.
The carbonation is adequate in its basic-duty frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and sort of smooth, as all that porcine char kind of takes a major tithe at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the big malt and lingering meaty essences grappling like East German Olympic wrestlers in the 1980s.
Overall - this certainly comes across as a capable and faithful rendering of the old-world style, one derived from Bamberg, in Franconia, and not Munich, as other lesser mortals have apparently surmised. Easy to drink, as the smoke eventually dissipates once acclimatization sets in, and this one's true (sexy) colours come to bear.
