50 cl bottle @ home while watching Portugal against Hungary. Dark amber. Medium off-white rocky head. Medium lasting retention. Average lacing . Herbal and smoked wood and meat aroma. Amazing fresh herbal(peppermint) and smoke flavor. Perfect

Brown with a thin, frothy head. Mild campfire and ashtray aroma with caramel and prune underneath. Taste is mildly bitter with lingering smoke at the finish. The flaw here is the thin body and watery texture. Good, but needs more depth and more chewiness.

500 ml bottle. Clear red amber, big fluffy head. Metallic notes, a bit caramel, nuts, hints of smoke. Light malty sweetness, light metallic bitterness. Light bodied, watery texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry malty finish. Overall a bit boring, not that smoky.

Aroma of smoked ham, not as sharp as Heller Rauchbier, but softer and creamier. Delightful smoky flavor with some raw bitterness, and, surprisingly, cream. Medium bodied and well balanced. Long smoky bitter aftertaste. You can still taste the beer after half and hour or so. Really excellent Rauchbeer, absolutely worth a try, but I will not rate it as high as Omhper and Oakes. But the 4.0 is well deserved. This tiny brewery in the Franconian countryside earns the attention of every serious beer drinker.

Tap at Franconian Beer Festival 2019. Pours a pretty, clear orange-red color. Nose is bacon and smoke, with malts, some caramel. Flavor is bready malt, caramel, bacon, oranges, the finish has tingly, peppery hops with some sulfur. Lovely balance and all-around drinkability.

Hazy red. Aroma is smoked ham bonbon melasses. Taste is not aggressive. Some herbal character with sweet caramel malt. Only slight umami ham. Very tart. Nice.

Keg at the brewery. Unclear amber with a medium white head. Aroma had butter, roasted malt and hints of smoke. Flavor had plenty of diacetyl with strays of roasted malt and smoke. Finished buttery. Shame.
