Bottle at Cafe Abseits, Bamberg 5/11/07. Dark brown coloured with a lasting, foamy tan head. Light smoke aroma with balancing caramel and some earthy hops. The flavour started with some smoked ham rounded by sweet malt and a long dry finish. Excellent.

Bottle, thanks to Lach (mullet) for bringing this to me from Bavaria.
Deep brown body. Off-white, rocky-creamy head. Quite nice looks. Aroma of charcoal which is almost totally burnt, ashes, hops, ... even a bit soapy. Quite nice aroma, but not great. There is a nice aroma, but you have to sniff really hard to get it. :) Lighthly sweet initial flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet finish. There is again a nice smokiness in the beer, but not from the real beginning. At first only somewhat sweet, but immediately after (I wouldn’t call it the finish yet) the smokiness pops up. The beer is extremely well balanced with a nice complexity. I love it.

On tap at the Berliner Bierfestival. Clear, copper body with a beige head. The aroma has some smoke, as well as caramel, a light breadyness and a nice fruity hoppiness. Not overly smoked flavor either, but it is smoked. Caramel, fruit and hops are evident as well. It has a medium to full body and a nice, bitter finish. A really pleasant and quaffable beer I would like to drink again. I had a Schlenkerla rauch just before, and that may have messed with the experience, but hopefully not. (070804)

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear, dark amber golden with a small, white head. Aroma of caramel and a whiff of butter. Medium body with malty accents, a lightly nutty touch and a vaguely fusty edge. Rather hoppy finish. Not completely fresh. 150807

Der Anfang des Bieres ist mild geraten, erst im Mittelteil erwacht das Bier durch eine würzige Note, zusätzlich leicht grasig. Im Vergleich zu anderen Lagerbieren unterscheidet sich dieses durch seine nicht so sehr süffigem dafür intensivere Art, die im Mittelteil durch das malzige Aroma untersützt wird. Im Nachgeschmack herber werdend, aber frisch bleibend. Zuletzt meldet sich der etwas süße Hopfen. Test vom 26.8.2007, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 9,11,10,10,8,10 - 9,95

Dezent würziger Antrunk, in dem das Rauchmalz noch nicht wirklich hervorsticht. Das bier bleibt auch weiter in dieser Hinsicht mild, erst im Nachgeschmack weist das Bier die typischen Aromen auf. Durch seine Milde bleibt es dabei süffig, auch der herb-würzige Ton ist als mild einzuordnen. Test vom 26.8.2007, Gebinde: Fass Noten: 9,11,11,13,8,11 - 10,95

Golden color. Hay aroma. Soft mouthfeel, sweet, with a mixed malt, hay and honey flavor, too much for me. Correct bitterness.
