Light brown. Big smoke aroma. A bit husky, but deep smoke all around. Would benefit from a bit more sweetness.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Dark amber colour, clean, with medium, tan head; it looks a bit duller than the German sisters. Smoke aroma, medium, less than a slice of traditional Black Forest schinken, but the direction is that one. There's a good malt base, bready, round, with strong smoke; more roasted malts than classic Rauchbiers though. In Aecht Schlenkerla Maerzen there's more malt and body in the finish, oh well...
But, for a local choice, this is good, and at a very interesting price (+1 for this).

5oz pour at The Magnet. Pours clear amber with white head. Aroma has lots of smoke, crusty bready malts. Flaviur has great smokey flavour ashy and bready, good malts, a touch of dry residual sweetness. Excellent.

Dec 30, 2024 (7/4/7/3/15=3.6): Poured from 473mL can. Prefer the can pour.. Doesn't have the minerally metallic character. Rating raised. Nov 20, 2024 (7/4/7/3/14=3.5): Poured from the tap @ Magnet. Clear mahogany brown with small off-white head. Nice smokey character, has a very mineraly metallic bitter note hidden in the background though. Okay.

473mL can, pours a clear dark burgundy with a medium beige head. Aroma has a real nice campfire smoke character, accompanied by enough sweet bready malt and toasted caramel to give the whole thing some depth. Flavour has a frankly wonderful malt character of toasted bread, dry caramel, and wonderful campfire smoke. Damn. This is honestly one of the best Bamberg-style rauchbiers I've had outside Aecht Schlenkerla. Deep malt, just enough residual sweetness, with that characteristic smokiness. Excellent.
