Tap at the Alehouse. Pours pitch black. Aroma is fresh warm smoke, strong roasted malts, bockish spiciness. Body is heavy and strong and sweet, still a lot of smoke, yet less than a Bamberg Rauchbier would have. Liquorice, little tar too. Sticky, with a lively carbonation. Sweet lingering warming palate. Bitterness is always present, but never taking the spotlight. Nothing is, actually. Well rounded, yet a tad too sweet for my taste.
