Lager-brewed with smoked malts, this Rauchbier is mellowed by oak-aging. Black malt flavors mesh with notes of raisins, plums, figs and licorice with the subtle smoke on the side.

750 ml bottle. Dark brown, almost black body with a small but dense beige head. Aroma has lots of smoked malt with smoked meat and chocolate. Flavor is smoked, sweet malt and balanced bitterness. Medium body and lots of smoke in aftertaste. Well hidden alcohol, a very pleasant smoked beer.

Bottle shared by badnewsbeers. Deep garnet body, thin discontinuous beige head. Nose of smoke and caramel. Smoky body, like beef jerky or meat sticks, meaty and dry. Full-bodied with mostly subdued roasted notes occasionally nudging past the smoke.

0.75l bottle @ RBNAG11 bought at Cracked Kettle webshop. Pours a deep deep brown body with a nice sidesticking lightly tanned head. Aroma is light smoky and kinda beefy with tones of salty beef and smoked malts. Average carbonation with a light oily to sticky mouthfeel. Flavors are even more smoky with salty and ashy tones of dried beef. Light sweet as well. Alcohol completely hidden. A really good smoked!
