This Franconian-inspired Rauchbier presents a classic profile of the historical Bavarian "Smoke Beer." Its foundation is built on rich, toasty malt notes reminiscent of a traditional Märzen, layered with a distinctive beechwood smoke character that evokes hints of campfire and savory bacon. The use of Rauchmalz creates a seamless integration between the smoky aromatics and the bready, melanoidin-rich malt core. On the palate, the experience is balanced and smooth, featuring a clean lager fermentation that allows the interplay of woody smoke and moderate bitterness to shine through. It finishes crisp and medium-dry, leaving a lingering, pleasant smokiness that invites another sip.
Appearance.Deep copper to dark amber (approx. 18 SRM); large, creamy, tan-colored head with excellent retention and lacing; brilliant clarity.
Aroma.Moderate intensity smoke aroma, specifically beechwood-driven with woody and slightly savory, bacon-like notes; supported by a moderate toasty, bready malt presence; clean fermentation profile with no esters; very low spicy hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression of rich, toasty malt sweetness followed quickly by a clean, woody smoke flavor; moderate hop bitterness provides balance to the malty core; very low spicy hop flavor; the finish is medium-dry with the smoke enhancing the perceived dryness; clean, lager-like aftertaste of toasted grain and lingering smoke.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, well-conditioned lager character; medium-high carbonation; no alcohol warmth; lacks any astringent or harsh phenolic character.
