Burg Bier Brouwerij Smoke Eel
Classic Rauchbier 6.3 º
Smoke Eel is a refined Rauchbier that showcases a unique artisanal process, utilizing Bruun malt smoked for a full week in a traditional eel smokehouse. This creates a sophisticated sensory profile that balances a deep amber, coppery-brown appearance with a nuanced aromatic depth. On the nose, subtle woody smoke mingles with a toasty, malty-sweet foundation. The palate reveals a harmonious integration of clean lager fermentation and rich maltiness, where the smoke adds a gentle savory touch without overpowering the base beer. Designed for accessibility, it offers a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel and a clean, medium-dry finish that invites both novices and aficionados to enjoy its delicate character.
Appearance. Deep amber to coppery-brown in color with excellent clarity. Renders a large, creamy, rich tan head with good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a balanced blend of woody, clean smoke and rich, toasty malt. The smoke character is subtle and well-integrated with notes of bread crust and toasted grain. Clean lager fermentation profile with no esters or diacetyl.
Taste. Initial impression is malty-sweet and toasty, followed by a refined, clean smoke flavor that reflects the eel smokehouse origin. The malt richness is supportive, not cloying, balanced by a moderate hop bitterness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, savory smoke aftertaste. No harsh, phenolic, or acrid qualities are present.
