Spezial Rauchbier Export

◎ Appearance

Golden yellow in color with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible as steady streams of small bubbles. The head forms cleanly and displays good retention, with a fine lace that clings to the glass as the level drops.

◌ Aroma

Dominated by gentle beechwood smoke, layered with toasted grain and subtle maltiness. The smoke is refined rather than harsh, allowing the underlying notes of bread crust and light honey to emerge on the second nose. Hop character remains restrained and clean, never herbal or aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with balanced smoky malt sweetness before the beechwood character deepens mid-palate with a soft, toasty quality. Bitterness from noble hops arrives gently at 22 IBU, providing structure without assertiveness. The body is full and smooth, carrying the smoke through to a clean, dry conclusion.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and dry, with lingering smoke and toast notes fading to a crisp, refreshing aftertaste. No residual sweetness remains; the impression is clean and composed.
