Bottle, under the new label "Maitre Brasseur Rousse Fumee Imperiale". Beautiful red brown with a tan head. Sweetly smoky aroma, a little meaty, very subtle underlying peaty caramel. Palate delivers the same sweet smokiness but in the correct balance to allow appreciation of the underlying fruity caramel. Finishes dry. Very nice.

I love this beer. The smoke taste is present, not overwhelming, balanced. The after taste is interesting, the smoke flavor is quality and I could taste a drop of ginger. Worth trying !!

Bouteille de 341 ml. dégusté avec french tickler. Bigre de couleur brune avec un mince collet très collant. Arôme fumé, pain, blé et légèrement fruité. Gout très fumé, semblant de bois, également sensation de carton.

Bouteille 341ml. De couleur rouge-brune et claire. Nez de malt fumé (saucisse et jambon fumé), léger de caramel avec des notes de pain et léger de houblon herbeux. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné de traces de fruits (agrumes) lors de lentrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de malt fumé (saucisse fumée, feu de camp, présence toute la gorgée), de grains sucrés et légèrement rôtis ainsi que des petites notes de caramel sucré puis en finale lon retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux avec un léger regain de goût fumé et des notes de noix grillées asséchantes. Post-goût long-moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec des des notes de rôti ainsi qu avec un moyen goût de fumée.

Le corps est juste parfait, pas trop mince, pas trop sirupeux. Bon gout fumer qui est relativement bien blancer par une legere amertume. Perfect body, not too thin, not too creamy. Smokiness is well balanced with a light hop bitterness.

Pours dark ruby red with a medium-sized head. Very minimal lacing here. Aroma is murky, with some red fruit, smoke, and peet. Overall flavor can be described as a softly sweet red ale with smoke at the back of the palate. Finish is relatively clean, making this a surprisingly drinkable “fumee” beer. Since I had this with a generous helping of spaghetti marinara, I am inclined to say this brew complements rich foods quite well. Decent, and perhaps one of Au Maitre’s better brews.

341 ml bottle from Trappe a Fromage, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Very deep copper, clear, decent tan foam. Aroma: Very strong smoke that is a mix of meaty and peaty in almost 50:50 proportions; a small amount of caramel and dried fruit tries desperately to claw its way to the surface, also a touch of bread crust with a slight metallic defect. Palate: Medium-ish body, fairly soft and sparse carbonation. Flav.: The smoke is dialled right back, leaving the stage to the light raisins, caramel, brown sugar and vaguely berry fruitiness; what’s left of the smoke is still meaty-peaty; on swallowing, there is some lighter fruitiness, burnt sugar and a little lingering smoke; off-dry with a touch of bitterness.

I like the interesting mix of smoke types and don’t really understand why the ratings are so low...

Bottle courtesy of boutip. Pours mahogany with a tan head. Smells peaty with some sweet caramel and flowers. Tastes lightly bitter and has a pronounced smoky character.

Bottle - 341ml. Pours a hazy dark brown body with average carbonation and a decent beige frothy head. Pleasant and well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with caramel hints. Its nice hoppy taste carries some smokey-roasty notes. It ends with a decent bitter/smokey finish. Overall, smokeyness is not agressive, which makes that enjoyable beer a rather good introduction to the style for people that are not familiar to smoked beer.

Pours a cloudy reddish brown color with a thin offwhite head. Nice aroma of smoked malt, reminds me of smoked ham. The flavor also has smoked malt, it’s not as intense as other rauchbiers, but it’s none the less interesting. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and moderate carbonation.
