Dark copper with a frothy, white head. Woodsmoke aroma, apple butter, and a touch herbal. Taste is mildly bitter with a hint of peppery spice. Rich, sweet, caramel body just underneath. Finishes mildly watery with lingering woodsmoke. Easygoing, unexpectedly refreshing. Good one.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is smoked meat, caramel, bready malt, hint of tar. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Well-balanced and smooth Rauchbier, really good.

Pours a semi-transparent amber, with a rather big frothy white head; recedes relatively quick though and leaves little lacing. Low to medium intensity in the aroma: caramel malts, hints of honey, timid smoked notes (wood, ashes), quite vivid (at least in the overall balance) floral hops. Taste notes follow the aroma closely. Smokiness is quite low per style while there's more bitterness than usual, especially in the dry finish/aftertaste. Lacks the full feeling that malts and smoked notes usually give to rauchbiers. Light to medium bodied, pretty low carbonation (probably a bit lower than usual); drinks easily, feels slightly oily. Ok, but doesn't work for me.

Getrunken als „Posthörnla …das Rauchige“ mit 5,2 % Alk. Bernsteinfarben. Süß / rauchiger Geruch. Die malzige Süße ist geschmacklich deutlich vorhanden, aber nicht so stark wie im Geruch. Angenehmer, leicht „holziger“ Geschmack. Spuren von Honig sind erkennbar. Der Rauch sehe ich knapp unter Medium angesiedelt. Hopfung sehr dezent - die recht süße Grundnote könnte ein wenig mehr herben Konter gut vertragen. Schön weich, fliest wie warmes Leichtlauföl die Kehle runter.

Bottle picked up from Hier-Gibt's-Bier Webshop, Eckersdorf, Franconia. Consumed at home 5th April 2021 listening to Shame - Drunk Tank Pink cooking Greek Village Sausage (starter) and Pastitsio. Light amber in colour, pretty clear looking with a white head. Some light smoke on the nose, a little burnt wood. In the mouth picking up smokiness, malt, woody, bread, nice soft moutheel, a little grassy hop. Good but not completely doing it for me.
