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.

Flaska från Hier-gibt-bier.de. Mörkt gyllenfärgad med lågt smutsvitt skum. Ganska söt med honung, bröd, läder, torv, frukt och en lätt subtil rökighet. Kan inte se att det står spezial på flaskan men den är identisk med den på bilden och jag ser att vissa recensioner pekar på rejäl rökighet och andra inte. Kanske finns två varianter? Riktigt gott med djupa smaker men samtidigt mycket drickvänligt.

50cl fles van de Bierkoning. Amber kleur, witte kraag. Aroma heeft een hint van rook, rookworst, verder vooral veel moutige geuren, ambermout, karamel. Smaak volgt, redelijk zoet en moutig, karamel, hint van rook. Lichte body. Had meer rook verwacht, maar evenwel een prima bier.
