Clear golden colour, white head. Malty, light smoky aroma, caramel, smoked caramel. Sweet malty flavour. Light smoky finish. (from 50cL bottle @ home)

Bottle: Deep golden, thick and lasting creamy off-white head; mild to moderate aroma of sweet pale malt ( some bisquits underneath) with molecular traces of herbal hops and a delicate smoky background; moderate sweet and mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied, crunchy MF; lingering and clean sweet malty finish, some herbal hops underneath, smoked wood in the aftertaste. Well crafted and clean Rauchbier of - not important for "craft-beer nerds" - high drinkability! Totally underrated...

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond and thick foamy head. Distinctively smoked malty aroma with notes of smoked salmon, accompanied by grainy accents and hints of butter and vanilla. Mildly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Smokey and slightly grainy malty taste, delicately fishy with a mildly hoppy touch in the background; sweet and restrained bitter finish with grain and smoke in the aftertaste. Drinkable, not very demanding. 02.IX.17

Bottle, courtesy of Koelschtrinker. Pours clear golden. Aroma is light bacon, smoked malts, also pale malts. Body is medium, smoky texture, but not so many smoked flavours. They?re there, but they don?t work together smoothly. Soft carbonation, weakly sweet, rather watery. Shortish palate. Works, but not a beauty.

50cl bottle. Pours clear deep golden colour with a huge most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of decent smoked malt, sweet malt, honey, some bacon. Taste of grainy malt, dry hops, dry pale malt, more grainy malt, some bacon, smoke, okay!
