On tap at 7Sternbrau, Wien (with Geiserich). Reddish brown beer with heavy head. Wow, fatty bacon, greasy pork in a barbeque sauce. Peppery body in a very strange style, couldn’t tell if I was meant to be sitting at a campfire. Final saltiness enjoyed in convivial surroundings.

Nov 27, 2008 Draught, 5.1% at the brewpub. Mild woody smoke aroma. Dark brown colour, seems clear. Small stable tan head. The flavour is distinctly smoky, but mild and pleasant. Mostly a woody smokiness, but it also has a hint of salami. Pleasant carbonation. Seems a bit peppery, or perhaps that is from the chili beer I just had.

Oct 1, 2008 on tap @ 7 Stern Brau, Vienna. Deep red pour with dark brown undertones. Aroma is not as smoky as one would think. Taste is definately smokey. Smoke doesnt dominate but adds a nice deminsion. Flavor of smoked meats up front blanced with sweeter malts in the rear. Nice beer

Sep 5, 2008 Big lasting foam. After some time a dark red-brown ale is present. Nice smoke aroma that resembles smoked ham. The smoke is clearly present in the taste toghether with some sweet maltiness. A small amount of acidity also present. The hops is supresed but bitterness is present after all the smoke taste dissapears.

Aug 27, 2008 An tap at the brewpub, several times in 2006. Rich smoked malt, slightly less smoky than in Bamberg, but very drinkable. great balance, very drinkable. Great with the sauer braten or the bratwurst.

Jul 29, 2008 Tap @ the brewpub, Vienna. Pours hazy dark brown with a creamy beaige head with laces. Aroma is smoked and slighly roasted. It is soft and creamy and the smoke is strong in the beginning and then you can taste the roasted malt that stays in the aftertaste also - I actually like this - and I am not a Rauchbier girl :o)
