One small beer, still. "PoC = Proof of Concept", by the way. Quite foggy although not entirely. The color is light brown. The foamy lid is beautiful, dense moussy and creamy. One finger maximum.
Intensive smoked malt and a tad cured ham in the fragrance. Imitates the scent of Schlenkerla beers. To start with. But then it dilutes dramatically and turns even sourish. Like orange peel and dried apricot. The Bamberg first impression disappears.
Sour flavors and less prominent smoked malty elements on the tastebuds. Orange peel, dried apricot, peach flavored tea, grass, impotent biscuit malt. Now there's nothing even remotely resembling Schlenkerla masterpieces. Not a winner this one. Not that I expected.
Feels light, zesty, slightly tart and modestly smoked. Starts nicely, ends lackluster. Okay, looks like this watering hole won't send me to the gates of heaven.
