Bottle from Geers. Best before: 11/2021. Hazy dark red-brown, stable, foamy, yellowish beige head. Intense aroma of dried plum & banana, toasted chestnut, burnt wood, tyres, smoked BBQ sausage, bacon, butterscotch, clove, tree leaves, molasses, pistachio. Taste has sweet plum, pear & banana over a caramelly, nutty, brown-bready malt base with smoky-umami edges of sausage and wood. Herbal hoppy finish offering smoked wood, tobacco, dried fruit and soflty warming peated whisky-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Insane combination of Doppelbock and Rauchbier, the Rauchmalz is so intense and effective but the Bock structure is so strong. For now, the Urbock was even better (from memory), but this is also a note to myself to organise a side-by-side tasting once. In any case, world-class.
Dark brown and clear with lasting head. Really malty and smoky. Meaty elements. Good body. Lots of depth. Pairs well with stews and grilled meat.
