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.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 6B). Bottle 50 cl - Batch unknown (BBF unknown). AROMA: medium malty aroma with a low smoky background note (slight burnt wood and bacon). APPEARANCE: amber color and clear. medium beige head, creamy, with good retention. TASTE: initial medium malty flavor with slight maillard compounds (bread crust), followed by medium-low smoky notes (woody, faint bacon). medium bitterness with a dry finish. PALATE: medium to medium-low body with medium carbonation. OVERALL: a very nice and balanced rauchbier.
