Herb süßlicher, weich rauchiger Antrunk. Im Mittelteil steigt die Rauchigkeit an, parallel dazu herber und leicht hopfig, die Süße verharrt auf ihrer Intensität. Hell würzig, zum Ende bleibt neben der Herbe eine Toffeenote zurück. Gelungen. 12/11/11/11//11

(swing top bottle, 100cl , purchased at the brewpub) Slightly hazy, amber colour with a big and persistent, slightly off-white foamy head. Moderately sweet grainy malty nose with a light smoky touch. Light-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft and pleasant mouthfeel. The smoke factor is more attenuated in the taste; smoke malty but also grainy taste; moderately dry, sweet-bitter and slightly smoked finish. Well-rounded and pleasant to drink. 12.XII.07

Draught Hazy amber-fox beer with a toweringly huge, yellowish head. Very fresh smelling, slightly roasted smelling beer, the nose not preparing for... SMOKED! This is Rauchbier - superb. Lovely lightly smoked ham, with dry bread and malt added. Smoked taste builds up very gradually. Fullbodied, ending very dry. Excellent beer. Getting the glass tapped took forever, but it was worth waiting for.
