Classic Rauchbier 8 º 40 IBU

Bierbrouwerij De Eem

Brouwerij Eembier Chili Dog is an intense Rauchbier that commands attention with a striking balance of savory and sweet. This collaboration with Subs pushes the boundaries of the traditional style with a robust 8% ABV. The sensory experience is dominated by deep, aromatic beechwood smoke reminiscent of campfire and smoked bacon, seamlessly integrated with a rich, toasty malt backbone. Distinctive notes of red fruit emerge, providing a bright, tart counterpoint to the savory intensity. This amber lager finishes with a sophisticated, medium-dry character, making it a bold companion for its namesake dish while maintaining a clean, well-conditioned profile.

Appearance. Deep coppery-brown in color with brilliant clarity. It is crowned by a large, creamy, tan-colored head that exhibits excellent retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity beechwood smoke leads the profile, offering savory, bacon-like, and woody notes. This is balanced by a moderate toasty malt richness and a noticeable, pleasant red fruit ester character. The fermentation profile is clean, typical of a well-conditioned lager.

Taste. The initial impression is one of rich, toasty malt sweetness, which is immediately followed by a high-intensity but clean smoky flavor. The red fruit notes provide an unusual and complex depth. Bitterness is moderate and well-balanced against the malt, leading to a medium-dry finish where both malt richness and smoke linger without any acrid or harsh phenolic character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy lager character. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present due to the elevated ABV, and the beer is free of astringency.
