Classic Rauchbier 5.5 º

Blech.Brut 8 Bit

This collaboration brew delivers a classic, robust Rauchbier experience, leaning into the traditional beechwood smoke character. The sensory profile opens with a bold, savory aromatic blend of campfire and wood-cured bacon, which seamlessly integrates with a sturdy, toasty malt foundation. At 5.5% ABV, the beer maintains a clean, lager-driven elegance, offering a sophisticated balance between smoky intensity and rich malt character. The appearance is a deep amber, leading to a medium-dry finish that emphasizes the smoke without descending into acridity. It is a celebratory, layered tribute to Franconian tradition, emphasizing smoothness, brilliant clarity, and aromatic depth.

Appearance. Deep copper to amber-brown in color (15-22 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a large, creamy, long-lasting tan head with excellent retention and lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by clean beechwood smoke with woody and savory, bacon-like nuances. Beneath the smoke lies a moderate toasty-rich malt character and a subtle hint of spicy German hops. Clean fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl.

Taste. The initial impression is a savory burst of beechwood smoke, followed by a rich, toasty malt depth and hints of toasted bread crust. Balanced hop bitterness provides structure against the malt sweetness. The finish is medium-dry, leaving a lingering aftertaste of clean smoke and malt richness. No harshness, rubber, or creosote notes are present.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, well-conditioned lager character. Moderate to medium-high carbonation provides a crisp lift that prevents the smoky richness from becoming heavy. No phenolic harshness or astringency.
