"Michael Seezauber", Flasche von den Getränkerittern, 10.12.2022. - Kupferrotgold, blank; sparsamer Schaum. - In der Nase leicht toastiges und mild nussiges Malz von satter Karamelsüße, leicht alkoholisch, bockbierähnlich, mit etwas derber krautiger Hopfung. - Antrunk mild nussig-toastmalzig, etwas strohig, mit feiner Karamelbonbonsüße und nicht zu knapper hopfenwürzig-herbaler Hopfung, die in unschöne, leicht ranzige krautige Bittere übergeht. Durchschnittlich rezent, vollmundig, etwas hart im Mund. Abgang wie oben. - Trinkbar aber kein richtig gutes Märzen, dafür ist die Hopfung zu derb und das Ganze etwas zu hart und fuselig.

Schnapp-Fläschla: Almost black, quickly collapsing loose off-white head, mild to moderate sweetish-bitter aroma of smoke (woodfire) with toasty and fruity traces; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, a light acidity is detectable far behind, hardly medium bodied and not so soft; slightly lingering bitter-sweet finish with smoky and fruity traces and a light acidity (presumably not caused by infection, by roasted malt). Moravius is right, more like a thin Stout than a Rauchbier...

Hermann's Bierwerkstatt Rußkäfer, ein Rauchbier, Flasche vom Landbierparadies24. - Dunkles Schwarzbraun, kurzlebiger Schaum. - In der Nase sehr dunkle aber doch milde Röstaromen, ein Hauch von Asche über leicht karamelsüßem Malz. - Antrunk schlank und leicht säuerlich röstmalzig mit dünnem Mokka und etwas Asche. Milde, blaß zitrusfruchtige Herbe. Schlanke Restsüße, passende zart fruchtige Säure. Raucharomen finden sich, wenn überhaupt, nur ganz im Hintergrund, ein Hauch von Schinken vielleicht. Milder rezent, schlank bis dünn. Im Abgang leichte Hopfenherbe. Aus der geleerten Flasche riecht es dann doch noch zart rauchig. - Tiefdunkles aber leichtes, fast dünnes Bier, das entfernt an ein Stout erinnert, aber wenig mit einem Rauchbier gemein hat.
