 rauchbier (2874), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
Feb 20, 2005 Bottle conditioned, at Essen Kerstbierfestival 2004. Deep chestnut red, moderate lasting off white head and low condition. Sweet chocolaty malt with hints of prune and yeast in the nose, slight yeast and roast barley bitterness in the mouth with more chocolate dubbel notes. Lingering prunes and yeast in the finish.

Dec 16, 2004 Bottle. Malty/sherry-like aroma. Smells old. Dark brown colour. Flavour also seems old, but not too bad. A little bread flavour, malty. Aftertaste bitter and peppery.

Dec 12, 2004 hazy dark brown, medium yellowish head. Leafy, estery (meaty), spices, and black malts. Nutty taste, dark malts, touch of bitter chocolate. Leafy flavour. The meat-ester is found also in the taste. Very well bodied, dry at first, gradually filling it. Not bad, not bad, deserves more attention. This beer might be a labelbeer from one of the classical ones by this underestimated brewery, but it does compare favourably with me. If they could find some more commercially interesting names for them, as this one?
