Alpha El Testament Del Llop reimagines the traditional Rauchbier through a rustic lens, incorporating tobacco leaves from Andorra into a base of rich, smoked malt. This deep amber lager presents an evocative bouquet where the classic beechwood smoke notes of a Märzen-style grist meet deep, earthy, and leathery tobacco undertones. The palate is defined by a toasty malt richness and a clean lager fermentation, balanced by a firm yet smooth smokiness that avoids harsh phenolic notes. With a medium body and a drying finish, it offers a sophisticated interplay between woody smoke and herbal complexity, creating a uniquely atmospheric Pyrenean sensory experience.
Appearance.Deep amber to coppery-brown (15–20 SRM). Excellent clarity with a large, creamy, persistent tan head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity; a complex blend of aromatic beechwood smoke, campfire, and subtle leather derived from the tobacco leaves. The malt provides a toasty, bready foundation with hints of caramel. Clean lager fermentation with very low spicy hop notes.
Taste.Initial impression of rich, toasty malt sweetness, quickly integrated with a clean, woody smoke flavor. The Andorra tobacco leaves contribute a distinct earthy and herbal depth without being acrid. Moderate hop bitterness ensures a balanced profile. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering aftertaste of toasted grain and smooth, savory smoke.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, well-conditioned lager character. Medium-high carbonation provides a crisp lift. No significant alcohol warmth or astringency, maintaining a clean palate despite the smoky complexity.
