On tap at 7 Stern, Vienna, Austria. February 2014. Shared with lovely Anja, Dražen Kermit, Pero and others! Was already drunk while taking notes. Dark brown-red, tan to beige lasting head. Smoked ham, intense smoke aroma. To sweet, then to salty, excessive. Full taste is an illusion here, it’s the sugars! Excessive beer.

The beer starts great roasted. Intense woods, great smoke with not too much sweetness or malt. Great and interesting smoke profile. The aftertaste is nice smokey, malty smooth. No sweetness, nearly no bitterness with a smooth fresh smoke.

Draught at the brewpub.
Dark brown, hazy body, with a medium, dense, creamy, beige head, that laces a lot.
Aroma mainly of bacon, also bread and sweet malts, like honey and caramel.
Taste with about the same aromas, but with the bready and sweet malts more in the foreground and also with a bit booze.
Medium, quite creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes with a lot of bacon again, roasty, sweet malty, a bit boozy and astringent.

Very nice! Not that extraordinary, but really quaffable and with a good balance between loads of bacon and sweet, smooth malts. Overall my favourite Rauchbier from Austria I’m always looking forward to at the beginning of the year!
