Classic Rauchbier 5 º 33 IBU

Bierverbond

This Rauchbier presents a quintessential sensory journey to Bamberg, defined by an evocative beechwood smoke profile that balances savory, bacon-like notes with a sturdy malt foundation. The aroma is dominated by woody smoke and toasted bread, which transitions seamlessly into a palate of rich, toasted grains and a clean, campfire-like smokiness. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, allowing the interplay between the malty sweetness and the smoky depth to remain the focus. A restrained spicy hop character provides just enough counterpoint to the malt, leading into a medium-dry finish where the smoke lingers pleasantly without any harsh or acrid phenols.

Appearance. Deep copper to reddish-brown (SRM 16-20). It exhibits brilliant clarity and is topped by a large, creamy, tan-colored head with excellent retention.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of clean beechwood smoke with woody and savory ham-like qualities. This is supported by a moderate toasty malt richness and light bread crust notes. Hop aroma is low and spicy, while the fermentation profile remains very clean.

Taste. A balanced presentation of toasty, rich malt and clean smoke. The smoke flavor is prominent but supportive, avoiding any charred or rubbery notes. Moderate hop bitterness provides balance against a malty-sweet start. Low spicy hop flavor is present. The finish is crisp and medium-dry with a lingering aftertaste of toasted grain and savory smoke.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy lager character. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. It lacks any significant astringency or alcohol warmth, feeling well-rounded on the palate.
