COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Exotic yet mild lager... Sublime complexity and intriguing malt character glow from this traditional amber lager. The hallmark beer style of Germany's Franconia region, this beer features beech-wood kilned malts for a softly smoky and rich flavor. Overall mild and mellow, this one's a fascinating treat!

On tap at BTBF. A reminder that my ratings are hedonistic, and I am scoring it to my preferences and not necessarily how I would score it per style. Pours with a clear bronze hued body with a white head. Aromas are smoke, earthy, bacon. Moderate malt complexity past the smoke. Somewhat cleanish yeast character. Flavors are smokey, earthy and nutty with a clean yeast character. Can be a bit harshly smokey at times, a bit earthy. Lively carbonation, off dry. All smoke.

Draught. The look is reddish in color with a decent head. The smell is smoked ham, caramel, malt, and good. The taste is smoke, leather, hickory, and ham. A super ham beer.

Draft at the Khyber. Very dark red with a slight white foam. Notable Rauch with a noticeable lack of impact. Sweet caramel masts. Smokey finish. Medium-deep flavors and body. Only modesty impressed.

Mora2000 (4059) - McKinney, Texas, USA - APR 14, 2013
On tap at Square Burger. Hazy brown color with a white head. The aroma is full of light smoke with some biscuit malt. The flavor is similar. I get some meaty smoke as well as some biscuit malt and some sweet toffee notes. Ashy. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Nice smoked beer.

legion242 (1999) - Richardson, Texas, USA - APR 12, 2013
Poured a very pleasent copper color with a sticky head. I had no idea that this q\was going to be a smoked beer and I knew I was in trouble as soon as I smelled it. Though not as overboard with the smoke as some German Rauchs, but still too much for me.
