Tief schwarz schimmernd und mit einem beigefarbenen, imposanten Schaum überzeugt diese urfränkische Bamberger Kultbiersorte in seiner Optik. Ein deutlicher Geruch nach Rauch, der sich prägnant in der Nase zeigt und dahinter eine ausgewogene, fruchtige Hopfennote aus feinsten Hallertauer Aromahopfen, lässt sich erkennen. Der rauchige Geschmack entsteht durch die Verwendung von Buchenholz während der Trocknung des Malzes. Am Gaumen finden der samtige Geschmack von Lakritze, geräuchertem Schinken, dunkler Schokolade und röstigen Karamellnuancen liebevoll zueinander. Eine echte Spezialität für Kenner und Liebhaber dieser ursprünglichen Biersorte.

Pours deep/dark brown, fading into black but still showing some reddish hints through light. A straightforward smoked aroma (schlenkerla like in terms of intensity), with smoked meat and ashes/burnt wood most noticeable. A dark bread presence on the back of things and maybe a hint of floral hops. Taste confirms good intensity, with a bit more depth to it and a bit more malty presence that gives it a hint of sweet base. But just a hint, as the beer still feels pretty dry (especially for the style) and straightforwardly smoked. Notes of dark bread, perhaps the slightest hint of rye bread-like crispness, quite strong smoked notes (meaty and ashy as per aroma), dry floral hoppiness (more noticeable in finish/aftertaste). Light to medium body, light to medium carbonation, quite easily drinkable with just a hint of softness. Overall: a quite peculiar rauch, intensely smoked (sort of schlenkerla-like, but not as supported by malty sweetness, and thus dried in mouthfeel), a relatively simple taste profile (but a satisfyingly smoky one) and undoubtedly well crafted.

On tap at Klosterbrau, pours a deep dark brown with a massive beige head. Aroma has moderate campfire smoke, leather, bready caramel, and some old furniture. Flavour is along the same lines, with quite a different smoke character to other local rauchbiers: lots of leather, old furniture, a touch of campfire. Unique and interesting, though maybe slightly less drinkable. Very good.

Ein wirklich hervorragendes Rauchbier. Stabile, feinporige Schaumkrone, fast schwarze Farbe, in der Nase feine Raucharomatik und Röstmalze, im Mund mit einer herrlich sahnig-samtweichen Textur, wenig Kohlensäure, trocken, leichte Bittere, würzig, eine wunderbar integrierte speckige Rauchigkeit.

Grundsätzlich mag ich kein Rauchbier 💨, aber dieses fand ich ganz nett. Das mag daran liegen, dass es für den breiteten Geschmack 👄 aufbereitet wurde. So ist es zwar intensiv rauchig nach Geselchten 🍖, aber hat dazu allerlei malzige Noten, die es so einpacken, dass es doch recht harmonisch ist. Dadurch nicht so urig, aber leichter trinkbar. Für Rauchbierfreaks sicher nic, aber für jemanden der es mal probieren will, durchaus nett.
