Amber-brown in colour. Salty, malty, sourish & smokey. Complex, but falls short of the on the malt if comparing to the Bamberg version.

Robust bock, with great development of dark malt flavours, and then a smooth, mellowed-out smokiness overtop - lovely.

GABF 2004: Clear copper brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma is wonderfully malty sweet with bold caramel and smoked notes. Mildly sweet and smokey body has a nice balance and semi-dry, lingering smoke finish. This is a really good rauchbock.

IN-SANE! Massively smoky, like eating a side of bacon that sat in a smokehouse for a month. Outstanding, though the bockiness didn't shine through much. Moderately malty. This may be better than Schlenkerla Urbock!

On tap, GABF 02: Aroma of smoked malts...what the heck, oh its a smoked beer. Dark orange in color, very smooth tasting. Heavy smoked malt finish. Nice without being overpowering.

GABF 2002: Subtle campfire aroma. Bright orange color. Nice malt upfront and a decent campfire flavor. Not overly smoky. Somewhat watery finish.

Great smoked beer. Somewhat orangeish with an off white head. A bit sweet and malty, hints of tobacco with obvious peat smoked malt. Flavors match the taste, but I would even throw in a bit of caramel and toffee as it warmed. Would be awesome on a summer day out on the deck grilling up all the favorites. A perfect example for this style.

This years (2004) offering is the best I have had so far. The aroma is a little more subtle, but still smoky. Smooth, leathery, smoky malt taste that is so true to the style. Unique without being offensive. If you like rauch beers, you will love this one. A must if you ever get the opportunity.
