Eisenbahn Defumada (Rauchbier)

Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack
Style: Smoked
Blumenau, Brazil

Pours a reddish brown with a small off white head. Aroma of smoke, malt, caramel and meat. Flavor of smoke, bacon, dough with a nice sweet malty finish. I’ve never been big on smoke beers but this is well balanced and pretty decent for the style.

Bottled. Thanx omhper! Red-brown colour with fluffy, pretty low head. Gentle smokey aroma with a touch of bacon. Smoke, caramel and dough are present in maltiness. Good beer but not great. Medium body.

Pours amber / red-brown with light off white and non-persistent head. Nice medium smoky-malty aroma with little to no hop aroma. Great bacon-smoke flavor in the Rauchbier tradition. Low to medium hop bitterness. Has a "fortified" taste that I have detected in a couple other Brazilan beers, and I don’t know what it is. Almost like Coca-Cola was used as sugar to jack up the alcohol. Medium bodied. Whether it is this Rauchbier or better yet, an Schlenkerla, you must have this style of beer when eating a Reuben sandwich!!

12-oz bottle purchased at Liquor Max in Loveland, CO. Pours copper with a small, fizzy, off-white head, mostly diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is average malt (cookie, caramel), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough) with notes of root beer, smoke, green wood, and brown sugar. Light bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a metallic finish. Long duration, light sweetness, acidity, and bitterness; flavor of teriyaki beef jerky.

12oz bottle. Transparent amber-caramel color. Smoky sweet aroma brings you back to Bamberg. Very smoky in flavor, with the full malt sweetness that you’d find in the best Rauchbiers. Moderately high alcohol and accompanying warmth don’t really help to accentuate the smoky, smooth qualities of the style. Other than that, a really great beer.

Pours amber with a good sized off white head. Smoke, meat, campfire aroma. Flavor is similar with a strong smoked meat and caramel character. Finished mildly skunky. Interesting.

Bottle poured a clear amber with a small lingering light amber head. Aromas of smoke, carmel and light fruittiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, smoke and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth lightly smokey finish.

not much for smoked beers. this though was a quality beer IMHO and I rate it slightly above average from beer of the month club with a couple of bottles of the Eisenbahn Escura which I found to be wonderful.
