Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'affumicato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla scarsa tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido appare nuvoloso. Il colore è ambrato rossiccio carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi e affumicato.

17/VIII/18 - on tap @ Kantien (Gent) - BB: n/a (2018-1000) Thanks to whomever shared this with me...

Clear amber beer, small creamy off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: holy shit, that smells like a very smoky camp fire, damn, so much smoke going one here! Mainly wood smoke, hint of peated smoke, some caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet and fruity, then super super smoky, salty touch, tastes like veal meat, smoked ham and smoked sausages, bitter touch. Aftertaste: caramel, super smoky, hint of citrus, quite some banana peel, bitter hops, bit grassy, hoppy, malty finish.

Rauchbier from this microbrewery near Venice, from a Belgian style steinie bottle bought at Gedeelde Vreugde in Sint-Niklaas. Like the other one (an APA) I had from this brewery, quite a strong gusher, but being prepared for this, I managed to reduce the loss to a minimum. Thick and coarse, pale greyish off-white, large-bubbled, irregular ‘gusher’ head lacing in shreds over a misty, mahogany-hued brown burgundy coloured beer. Aroma of strong Rauchmalz (smoked bacon), next to notes of soggy chestnuts, hard caramel candy, dry forest floor, tea bags, pear, burnt wood, damp earth, hazelnuts, peach, brown bread. Sweetish onset, some pear, fig and slight banana with a sourish elderberry undercurrent, estery with strong, numbing carbonation, yet full mouthfeel. Nutty, caramelly, brown bready maltiness with a slight metallic edge and lingering fruity esters, the breadiness more and more increased towards the finish due to yeast; smokiness is obvious and dominates from the middle onwards, with that typical smoked ham-like flavour you get in German Rauchbiers as well, but the overt yeastiness, breadiness and phenolic and estery overload due to bottle-conditioning going a bit out of control (see the gushing) distract a bit too much from this lovely flavour. Ends bready, dirty and malty (caramel sweet with the smoke mixed in), with a dash of herbal hop bitterness. Almost Belgian in style, like a cross between an artisanal Belgian dubbel and a true Bamberg Rauchbier – if I were told that this was a smoked ale made in Belgium by some of the countless small breweries here, I’d readily believe it. Too bad for the gushing and the excessive, irrelevant yeastiness but drinkable enough.

330 ml bottle, bb 11.10.18, shared by PowY, thanks!
Brown body, with a medium, fluffy, beige head.
Aroma of bacon, caramel, toast, bread, some honey, subtle dark fruits.
Tastes quite similar, with more smoke, more honey.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes medium smokey, a bit dry, a bit roasty, toasty, a bit sweet caramelic, slightly fruity.

Very nice. Very well integrated smoke, with a smooth, sweet and toasty malt body. Really quaffable to drink. Very good stuff in the Bamberg style.

Dec. ’16. On tap at Luppolo Station, with Roman ratebeer crew. Served in a ceramic mug, it poured some darker body with light yellow hued head. Very nice smoked aroma, lightly woody with smoked hard cheese and some berries. Flavor was also smoked, prosciutto, peat and cheese, but unlike most of these it wasn’t alkaline peat dominated, rather sweet, lightly, with caramel and fruit notes. Creamy on palate, full bodied. Finish was moderately long, malty, following the flavor, only with less smoked character. A quite nice smoked.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of Marko, shared with him and Hrabren. Brownish coloured, medium sized pale beige head, pleasant smoked bacon in the nose. Sweetish malty, sugary, quite smoked bacon, bit lack of body and touch of caramel with again smoked bacon in the nose. Pleasant one.
