I have had smoky beers, such as the wonderful "Burn the Ships" from Able Ebeneezer in NH, but never a smoked beer. It looks a good deal darker than what I had.
Bamburg, Germany is famous for smoked beer. I had the "near beer" version, and it was quite good. Those drinking the real thing also said it was excellent. [I can't drink alcohol (medical reasons), alas. So I end up the perpetual "Designated Whatever" when I'm over in Europe.]
Looks like a Bock Bier or maybe a Double Bock Bier, although they have a more chocolatey taste. It's been 40 years since I had one so I could be wrong.
I like dark beers, and I've had a lot of them. I've had bocks and double-bocks and tripple-bocks, porters and stouts, black lagers and dark ones. This is really something different. It's the first genuinely new experience I've had with beer in a very long time.

Sounds right up my alley then, you've got me seriously intrigued!
