Ruby-red colour. Aroma of salami, salty. Flavour is smoked wood, salami, pepper and paprika. Lots of smells and flavours going on in this beer, but still subtle. Excellent.

Poured a nice brown color with hints of ruby and a small tan head that dissipated quickly. The aroma was pure smokiness. Flavor is dominated by the woody smoke flavor, but a bit of grain and caramel maltiness are detectable. Mouthfeel is of a medium-bodied beer. I found it very drinkable and enjoyed it immensely.

Pourd deep ruby and clear. Medium-sized head is creamy and white in colour. Aroma is distincively deep and roasted with sweetish smoked ham-like malts, some ash and a hint of hops. Rich flavor is full of smoked, sweetish malts and the finish is medium bitter. Some sourish, coffee-like roastedness in the finish too. Palate is supersmooth and silky, medium bodied and slick. Fuller and more biter than märzen. Urbock is almost too easy and pleasant to be interesting anymore.

Pours a dark reddish brown color with a big tan head. nose is bacon and chocolate salt and sugar. Mouthfeel is medium and smooth taste is roasted and meaty. This beer is a bit of a novelty but I dig it.

Dark brown with a nonexistent head. A very strong aroma of tar and smoke that’s continued in the flavor. Deserves credit for being a rauchbier that actually tastes like beer too.

Deep reddish brown colour, thin off-white head. Nice aroma of smoke, tar and roasted malts. Sweet smoky malts and salty liquorice in the flavour, warm and dry ashy finish. Smooth and pleasant mouthfeel. Delicious.
