Aug 6, 2003 My first thought when I tried this beer was of smoked cheese.Love lts dark appearance and the lingering smokey taste that hits your mouth like an exploding cannon ball.Very dark for a Marzen and a beer that you either love or hate athough I personally think its really weird to hate it! Give it a try.

Nov 27, 2005 Updated: Mar 7, 2006Strong smoked BBQ aroma. Dark brown with a firm thumb thick moch head. Smokiness dominates. It’s like drinking the drippings of a BBQ pit. Some smooth and mild malt base beneath that, but the smokiness is the dominant flavor note here.

Apr 25, 2004 Deep mahogany amber color with a fluffy cream head that left great lace. Light in body for the aroma. Great smoke flavors on a nice malty foundation. Pleasant bacan, ham, and brown sugar glaze notes. Really good beer.

Oct 4, 2006 On tap at HDG. Deep dark brown in color with a nice fluffy tan head that left a nice lacing on the glass. Malty smokey bacon aroma. Malty smokey molasses flavor. The smokeyness lingers throughout the whole beer. Smooth mouthfeel. Creamy. Finish is smokey. Full bodied. Very enjoyable. Delicious.

Jun 20, 2005 Fiery bronze. Fully sustained rocky wisp of head. Resplendent nose of anise-spiced smoked poultry, tobacco, and perfectly ripe black plums. Wafts of straw and clean lager yeast sneak into the nose. Creamy, but with an equal amount of chalkiness to match. Understated medicinal sharpness quells the deceptive fruitiness. Dab of caramelized malt and maple glaze sweetness lies sandwiched between the chalky-edged dryness and smoky bacon. Intensity of the smoke, coupled with the spiciness of the hops, leave the palate numb. So polished and elegant, but magically rustic, as well. Lush malt notes deposit tongue hugging starches and lightly husky malts (Pils?) which act as an eternal undergird to the body. Dangerously quaffable due to the impeccable attenuation, but, amazing, it retains its satisfyingly smoky and bready girth. Firm, depth-lending punch of minerals compounds the dry, herbal twinge of hops, along with the gentler fruitiness that lurks beneath. Finishes commandingly bready and perpetually smoky with a crowning stroke of straw. Hail to the wonders of double-decoction mashing. After all these years, this still hails as THE quintessential Rauchbier.
