Emelisse Rauchbier

33cl bottle pours murky brown with some amber hues and lasting off white head. The aroma offers up a nice smooth rauch bacony note followed by light spicy yeastiness and really not too much else. The taste is similar with smooth smoky bacon mixing with light amounts of wood notes and then maybe spicy hops, a touch of floral hops and then a hint of yeast in the background. Darn nice Rauch.

33cl bottle at Amundsen. Pours dark amber with a small off-white head. Lightly smoky aroma with malt and caramel and hints of wood. Sweet and malty with a smoky and lightly dry and lightly bitter finish. Quite nice, but a tad too sweet for my taste. (2012-06-29)

Dark amber with light brown foam head lacing to glass. Smells like charcoal, tastes like smoked grain, nice on alcohol content. Aftertaste is nice long lasting smokey bitter. (Bruinisse 201206)

330 ml bottle, will soon be available at Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7%, EBC 31.7, EBU 29.2. Stamwortgehalte 16 degrees. Cloudy brown colour, moderate to low off.white head. Strong aroma of smoked meat, with some faint sweetish malty notes in the background. The flavour has strong notes of smoke, with just the right maltiness and decent hops. Bitter finish. I am not a big fan of smoked beers, but this one was quite drinkable.

nice balanced aroma and flavor of smoked and sweet malts. little hop presence, but none really needed. a little on the steep side, but i'd have again when the mood strikes.

330 ml capped bottle. Poured an unfiltered hazy ruby-brown or old reddish copper coloured Rauchbier with a two fingers beige creamy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Some lacing. Plenty of floating sediments. The aroma is deep smoked malts, smoked ham, smoked meat. The flavour is roasted malts, smoke, may be a touch of caramel, brown sugar, grassy hops and a faint but real touch of chilli. The mouthfeel is creamy, fizzy, sparkling, very smooth and ... sweety. The texture is light oily. This medium bodied Rauchbier has a lingering smokey finish. The smoke is, true to the beer name, overwhelming but no way on the aggressive art but on a sensitive way. A great Rauchbier.
