bevuta brewpub.buona persistenza della schiuma, buono olfatto pieno di sentori di affumicatura e malto.al gusto belle note di tabacco e carammello ben bilanciate con l’alcol.spezie varie.

Bottle. Poured a dark coppery brown with a fluffy tan head and lotsa lacing. Nose is smoky and malty and has a distinctive smell of smoked bacon. This is the first rauchbier I have tried so I wasn’t too sure what to expect and while I was surprised by the aroma it was a pleasant surprise. Flavour is still smoky but not so meaty, malt blends harmoniously with notes of caramel, tobacco and spice. The smokiness is just about perfect, present but not overpowering. A really good beer, I have just been converted.

Aaaah rating 500.. Here goes... ~Pours a dark brown with creamy tan head. Nice lacing ~Scent of smoked ham and malts, and woodsy tobacco. ~Smoked malty wood flavor. Malts are toasty. Malts and smoke compliment each other. Neither is very aggressive. Light hops. ~Light bodied, very smooth. Smokey sweet malt finish. ~This is a damn good brew. Wasn’t real sure what to expect. It could stand to be a bit thicker. I bet this is excellent straight from the cask. I love the smoked malt and wood flavor. I wish it had a bit more ooompf, but then it might be overkill. Excellent brew. Glad It is easy to find around here. Right on the mark for its style. This is a mans brew that should be eaten with red meat!

1pt 0.9oz bottle. Pours nice brown color with a very soft foamy head that lasts forever. Smells of camfired cooked bacon. Tastes of smoked pork, corn malt, hardwood, and hops. Nice lacing. Nice long aftertaste. Excellent brew.

Deep brown with a decent sized beige head. Aroma is of smoked meat, wood, malt and earth. Taste is of firewood, smoke and ash.

Pours red-brown with nice head, which disappears quickly. Marked smell of campfire. Smokey flavor, meaty, malty. I like it.

Dark reddish brown with a foamy white head. Aroma is very smoked. Flavor is dominated of smoke, roasted malt and hops. Good balance of the malt and smoke in the finish.

A must try. As for the age-old saying "smells like a campfire and tastes like bacon," this is pretty dead on. The marzen aspect gives it a nice sweet malty quality too and overall it kind of reminds me of smoked ribs/pork. Yummy!
