Handwerklich gebraut nach dem Bayerischen Reinheitsgebot von 1516. In der Tradition oberfränkischer Rauchbiere in und um Bamberg zeichnet sich das Hallerndorfer Rauchbier durch animierende Frische und eleganten Einsatz von Rauchmalz aus. Eine harmonische Verbindung von fruchtigen Malznoten, feiner Hopfenbittere und dezenter Rauch- und Röstaromatik regt zum Weitertrinken an. Mehrfach prämiert beim European Beer Star.

Bottle form Raynville Superstore I believe. It pours clear rich deep copper - brown with a thick, fluffy off - white head. The aroma is rich and toothy, big smokey and meaty vibes, honey glazed ham, smokey bacon crisps, touch caramel, cola cubes and brown bread. The taste is dry and toasty upfront, bitter - sweet, pleasingly firm smoke, slightly medicinal, dry oak, earth, leather, toasted nut, ryvita and brown bread with a toasty and smokey finale. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. This is right up my street. Robust and bitter. Flavourful.

500ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection, drank on Easter Sunday, 20th April 2025. Brown with a beige head. Not as smoky as I expected, sure it was smoky, but not as intense as I've had in Bamberg.

Pours a clear dark bronze color with a giant beige head and great retention. Great lacing too. Aroma of smoked sausages. The taste follows the nose: Smoked sausage / meat stick flavor mixed with sweet caramel malt flavor. Well done. It doesn't suffer from the dry ashtray notes of many rauchbiers. Very smooth and clean. A nice surprise. Medium body. Very low carbonation. Not bitter. Good beer.
