Feuer

Tap to rate

After four years without a Rauchbier it was time again: Feuer is brewed in Märzen style with beech- and cherry-smoked malt as base malt, plus a little Munich malt and dark German malts. The result is a velvety, slightly darker Rauchbier full of smoky flavours, with meaty notes, soft fruitiness and a structured, rustic malt base of toasted bread and a hint of caramel, with marked but well-balanced bitterness.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and velvety, with meaty, bacon-like smoke notes melding into toasted malt and a hint of caramel sweetness. The mid-palate maintains excellent structure, balancing the rustic, bread-forward malt character against a marked but well-composed bitterness that finishes clean without harshness.
