Dämpfe presents as an expertly crafted Classic Style Smoked Beer, utilizing 100% Weyermann beechwood smoked malt to deliver a profile that is both rustic and refined. The sensory experience is dominated by a prominent yet clean smoky character reminiscent of high-quality barbecue and campfire embers. Beneath the smoke, a foundation of pale malt provides delicate notes of fresh biscuit and a touch of residual sweetness. This lager maintains a remarkably crisp and clean profile, finishing with a refreshing snap that balances its savory depth. It is a nuanced, sessionable lager that elevates the traditional smoked framework through simple, high-quality ingredients and precise fermentation.
Appearance.Brilliant clarity with a deep golden to pale amber hue. It is topped by a dense, persistent off-white foam head that exhibits fine lacing as it recedes.
Aroma.High intensity of clean beechwood smoke, offering savory notes of campfire and smoked meats. A subtle background of bready malt and faint floral hops supports the smoke, with a very clean, lager-like fermentation profile.
Taste.The initial impression is a savory wash of smoke and barbecue, quickly supported by a toasted biscuit malt core. Hop bitterness is mild but provides enough balance to prevent cloying. The finish is remarkably dry and clean, leaving a lingering, pleasant wood-smoke aftertaste without any harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the refreshing nature of the beer. It is very smooth on the palate, lacking any phenolic or astringent smoke-derived harshness.
