El Bolson Negra Ahumada

Brewed by Cerveceria Artesanal El Bolson
Style: Smoked
El Bolson, Argentina

Bottle conditioned, black with a filmy beige head. Athe aroma was not so smoky, but more a charcoal aroma with some astringency. A little like marmite yeast. The palate was very astringent. Sweet malt and cherry flavour, hoppy as well. They haven’t quite pulled off this one for me.

Appearance: black reddish. Medium head, beige, of low density. Aroma: smoked, sweet toasting of candy, humid wood, tones of coffee of grain, The smoked is intense, reminiscences of vanilla. Low hop presence. Flavor: smoked enough, hop without major presence. Reminiscences of coffee, candy and wood. Smoked long aftertaste. Palate: Medium Body, oily texture. Carbonación low. Advisable South American version of the style Rauchbier. (sorry for my english)

Bottle. Pour a dark brown almost black color with a longlasting tan head. Roasted malty and smoky aroma with hints of licorice and chocolate. Roasted malty smooth smoky flavor, with lots of chocolate. Warming malty finish with some hints of smoke in the aftertaste.

Yeehaaa, queeee sabor! Great smoky unfiltered brew! Not so so much, not too little either. Bottle. Cloudy black body. Heavy roasted malty flavour. Surprisingly not so smoked a taste as one would suspect though somw what bitter with a nice chocolate touch to it. Good average aftertaste.

Deep dark beer with a thin moka head. Light chocolate aroma, with smoked peat notes. In mouth, dry chocolate malt with light bitterness, light floral hops, light bodied. Not bad, but this isnt a Rauchbier. Bottle bought at Supermercado Todo, 4.39$AR.

Black and opaque, fizzy with no head retention. Smells distinctly like Trois Pistoles (and more generally slightly Belgian)! Aroma of cookie dough, honeycomb, malted milk and mild, woody smoke. The aroma gave me hope for something special, though I could tell it was gonna be sweet. Unfortunately in the mouth it really just turned out to be bland, watery and sweet. There’s some toast, butter and marmite but it’s really lacking any roasty guts. Quite boring and definitely less interesting that the Estepa Roja which was half the alcholic strength. At least I can now say I’ve had an Argentinian Rauchbier! Thanks Gilesy!

Yumm. Basically the same beer as their Negra Extra, just with smoke added. Very lightly smoked, so don’t be scared off. Schwarzbier body. Excellent. A real Argentine surprise but try the Danskeren beer, it’s EVEN BETTER!

Bottled. Black with beige head. Vinuos nose. Lightly malty and roasty, not very soft mouthfeel. Hints of wood and smoke in the finish. Many thanks to Oakes, Linc(?) and especially Canada Post for letting me sample an Argentinian rauchbier...
