Bamberg Rogg't

Tap to rate

A chestnut-brown, full-bodied top-fermented beer brewed with a generous share of rye malt, which the brewery's own recipe sheet classes as a brown ale. The rye gives it a character the brewery likens to rye bread, with nutty aromas and a hint of "Russisch Brot", the caramelised alphabet biscuits. The mouthfeel is creamy, almost like cream, before a cheeky sparkle takes over. Weyermann positions it as a beer for the Franconian beer-cellar season, to go with cold platters, plum jam and onion-spiced curd cheese.

Entry is soft and creamy, with rye malt delivering a gentle spice and biscuit sweetness across the mid-palate. The bitterness is restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the malt character to dominate without becoming cloying. Mouthfeel is full-bodied and velvety, finishing with a subtle grainy dryness.
