I hadn't had a rauch in awhile and then I saw Caldera Kettle Serie's Ür Bock Rauch for around a thousand yen for 650ml and figured I had to pick it up. Pouring a beautiful reddish Amber brown with a thick light beige head that lingers. The aroma is smokey honey glazed ham with some rich stone fruit notes. Full bodied with a raspy carbonation and a semi-sharp finish. The taste is smokey, oak, ham, honey, malt richness. I think Fujizakura tops this but it's a solid example of the style. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle from Biernavigatie, large sample. Clear amber color, short frothy head. Aroma of smoked ham, slight leather, some caramel. Bit dry and smokey in taste as well, bit salty ham, smoke. Love the aroma.

Bottle. Deep brown color with a thin layer of creamy beige head. Nose is intense smoke, smoked cheese comes to mind. Just a little bit of sweetness too, same in the taste. The sweet bock does well to compliment the smoke. For such a heavy smoke presence it really is drinkable. That said, a 7oz pour was enough.

650ml bottle. Clear, dark copper colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Sweetish caramel malty and intensely but mildly smoky aroma, associations of smoked eel and smoked trout, hints of prune, bacon-wrapped prunes (Pflaumen im Speckmantel), ashes. Taste is dry, intensely smoky, peaty, hints of wet ashes, subtle hints of chocolate. Wow! One of the best smoked beers following the Schlenkerla path.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - smoked ham, some orange fruit. Taste - yeah, orange and smoked ham. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy and smoky texture with a dry smoky finish. Overall - a good example of the smoked style. The fruitiness balances the smoke out somewhat.

Bottle from co-op. Underpriced and undervalued. Perfect example of the German rauch style. Sweet, smokey aroma, more smoke in the taste. Malt, bacon, maple syrup, taste is initially sweet, followed by cured meat. Pretty solid throughout.
