(on bottle) My first taste of a Bamberger and since we here inthe DK has Refsvininge Skibsøl with 100% smoked malts, this one is rather light. Lots of liqurish and of cause smoke, but no sweet flavors like a scottish ale. Same with the taste; very straight forward.

Great beer, nice smoky flavor, but quite mild, I expected it to be overpowering, but it wasn’t. small head, ruby color, quite balanced, maybe abit too sweet, but not by much. I enjoyed this beer.

Pours dark brown with amber hues and mostly receding light tan head. Aroma of smoked wood, oak, charcoal and campire. Taste is smokey, meats, sausage, and brown malt. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. I enjoy this, but I still have trouble seeing the appeal of a smoked beer where smoke is the dominant characteristic of the beer.

Bottle. Clear, deep ruby red/dark brown. Smokey bacon aroma. Smokey, meaty flavour. Medium to full bodied, nice mouthfeel. I like this so much, I’m almost stunned (in the ’I was expecting to find it appalling, after my last go of a smoked beer 10 years ago’ sense).

Dark brownish color, decent tan head, medium bodied, very smoked aroma, smelled like someone set the glass on fire, this was my first real rauchbier, the aftertaste tasted almost exactly like a Slim Jim, lots of smokiness in the flavors but especially the aftertaste

pours mahogany with an off white head that fades to a film and leaves a nice lace trail. smells slightly like real lebanon bologna, malt and brown sugar. the flavor is similar along with some tartness like sour cream, ashiness and low sweetness. hard to really taste any nuances through the smokiness. the finish is acrid and the smoke lingers on until the next morning. medium bodied with a creamy texture from the carbonation. very food friendly...

Bouteille de 50 cl. Couleur rousse très foncée, pas de collet. Arome fumé, mais pas plus que ça. Goût fumé faible. Elle n’est pas mauvaise, mais ordinaire.

Amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma of smoked meats with some malts mixed in. Taste of overpowering smoke with a dry mild hoppy finish. It’s okay, not sure I’d want to have that much of it. I know they put the words "marzen" on the label, but with the overpowering smoke this could have been anything. Perhaps MillerCoors or A-B could smoke one of their lagers and make it semi-drinkable.
