Cloudy amber with good head / Restrained smoke, salami nose / Light bodied, thin on the palate without much finish / Pleasant, moderate smoke overlays weak fruit and burnt sugar flavors, and likewise weak malts and hops / Nice handling of the smoke but otherwise a disappointing brew from the reliable Rogue.

In the bomber bottle from Beertopia. Pours a cloudy orange-brown color with a medium-sized fizzy beige head that actually sizzles in the glass like a soda pop. The aroma is definitely a smoked ham. The flavor is disappointing: metallic and chemical in nature. The smokiness is not smooth and blended, but seems uncoupled from any maltiness. This is a watery beer for a rauchbier with a finish that is not pleasant to drink like most of its Bamberg counterparts.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a large long lasting light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is smokey with a hint of caramel and floral hops. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel that finishes dry and smokey and a mild amount of bitterness. Very good.

Bomber. Strong smoked cheese aroma. Coppery color with a beige head that is very large. Smells a bit like chipotle as the glass approaches the lips. Medium bodied, mild carbonation, smoke flavor, some sweet malt, some smoked meat, a hint of hot spice. Really good. Goes great with spicy enchiladas.

Bottle. Amber coloured with moderate, off-white head. Aroma of smoked ham and burnt toffee. Flavour was moderately smokey with a light mouth feel and dry finish. Good, but there’s better in Bamberg.

Pours a orangish amber with pretty good caramel colored head. Aroma of smoke, a little bacon, and sweet malt. Flavors of smoke, roasted malt, and hints of sweetness and grassy hops.
