Birrificio del Ducato Wedding Rauch
Questa è la birra che decisi di creare per celebrare il mio matrimonio, in omaggio alla mia sposa che ha sempre avuto una predilezione per le Rauch. La città di Bamberg con le sue tradizionali birre affumicate ci è rimasta nel cuore; l’abbiamo girata in lungo e in largo, abbiamo indugiato sui tavoli delle sue birrerie e ci siamo fermati tante volte a contemplare i rivoli d’acqua del fiume Regnitz.
Al matrimonio ci furono circa duecento invitati e 450 litri di birra a disposizione. Ricordo che il giovedì mi trovavo ancora a Tettnang a selezionare il luppolo del nuovo raccolto e mi dovevo sposare il sabato, per decorare la festa portai dieci piante intere di luppolo appena staccate dal campo. Invece del riso gli invitati ci lanciarono fiori di luppolo e nel taschino della giacca portai un rametto di luppolo in fiore. Quella del matrimonio fu a detta di molti la festa più bella di tutta la loro vita, fu una cosa davvero memorabile. Vendemmo la birra non consumata ai nostri clienti ai quali piacque così tanto che decidemmo di continuare a produrla e ora è entrata a far parte della famiglia.
I created this beer to celebrate my wedding and my bride who has always loved Rauch beers. The city of Bamberg is particularly dear to us. We ventured through its streets, indulged in its well known smoked beers and stood together contemplating the water ripples of the river Regnitz.
Being in Tettnang 2 days before the wedding to select the newly harvested hops, I brought back 10 freshly uprooted hop plants to decorate the wedding reception. Instead of the traditional rice tossing, the guests showered us with hop flowers. My weeding suit was garmented by a small hop blossom as well. With more than 200 guests and 450 liters of beer, many remember our celebration as one of the most memorable gatherings they have ever attended.
Selling the leftover beer to some clients was such a success that we decided to keep brewing it. It is now part of our beer family!

0,15l on tap @ Olut Expo 2015. Pours hazy chestnut with a low off-white head. Aroma is malts and smoked ham. Flavor is malts, smoked ham and some hops. Nice and light.
draught@Erzbierschof - hazy dark amber-brown beer with a long lasting beige foam; aroma of smoked meat and mushrooms; full-bodied, subtle but fair carbonation; umami, some sweetness; fairly smokey finish with notes of brushwood and mushrooms - original
Dark maple syrup color Amber big foam. Aroma Band-Aids and smoke like a funky saison. Tastes smoky yet integrated. Slight saltiness. Rye bread. This is a delicious tribute to Bamberg smoked brews. Palate is rustic dry and slightly watery.
Smoke is in the aroma, not so much in the flavor which makes this a nice subtle beer, even gets a little sweet towards the end. Easy to drink
Tap at Craft and Draft
Bevuta in bottiglia. Colore marrone scuro. Schiuma poco persistente. Sentori di legno bruciato, speck e miele. Sono una fan delle Rauch, direi ok.
Big smokey ham bacon malt aroma. Black brown, low head&small sudsy lacing.Big bacon smoke malt flavour.Well rounded smoked wood, malt finish, a bit thin, but comes together nicely.
Brownish pale clear color. The smell is sourish and quite smokey. Smokey malty taste. Light and light watery mouth feeling.
Amber color with big beige head. Smokey-bacony aroma. Taste is malts, a bit berry fruit, caramel. Slightly tart. Nice carbonation.

Bottle from Birrivico, Como, L169 14, bb 01 06 15; 5.4% ABV
Dark amber color, hazy, with generous head. It has a good smoke component; it’s a bit mellow, some caramel, lightly sweet; it lacks of some more character though.
Nice.
Bottle from Systembolaget. Beautiful reddish beer with a thick head. Malty, mildly smoked, tasty beer. Smokiness not in Schlenkerla levels but works great for the balance. A tad watery but decent stuff still.
Almost no head, reddish chestnut coloured beer. Smoked ham aroma, and a fresh vegetable - raw gurkins? Mineral, hearth fire, cured meat. Light taste with again smoked ham, lard, glowing ashes connotations. Yet again something fresh veggielike - impossible to nail down. Quite light body, watery consistency, beer feels rather tired. Too old? Light Rauch. Good.
Keg at Borefts beer fest day 2 27/09/2014. Bodegraven. Caramel / red / amber coloured pour with a lasting sticky off white head. Aroma is wet grains, hint of smokey raunch malts. Flavour is composednutty and rauch malts, smokey sausage. Palate is a bit thin, sweet with highish carbonation.
33cl bottle from Grand Cru, Rimini. It pours a clean rich copper / ruby color with a small beige head. Aroma is sweet and malty, with notes of prunes, caramel, grains and light woody smoke. Taste is mostly sweet, with a very faint tartness in the finish. Smoke is also very mild in the aftertaste. Main notes are caramel, toffee, plums and figs. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Overall, not very smoky and not very tasty.
330 ml bottle. Pours a very flaky copper-amber with a short lived white head. Aroma is caramel, smoke, wood, meat, salt. Flavor is caramel, brown sugar, orange, apple, smoke. Finish is smoke, oldish, dusty and mineral. Lingering smoke, earth and minerals. Medium body, average carbonation.
Pours a chocolate brown minimal head. Aroma is smokey and nutty. Taste is smokey, multigrain bread and toffee. Enjoyable but nothing special.
Keg at BBF 6, 27/09/14, last tick of the fest proper!
Dark amber/chestnut brown with a decent beige covering that retains.
Nose is biscuit, smoked malt, rye bread, toffee, spice, light metallic whisper.
Taste comprises smoked malt, dark toffee, light smoked meat notes.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Decent well rounded rausch.
pours clear dark golden, red tint, with a small light beige-orange cap showing some retention and lacing. wood smoked lightly spicy and nutty maltiness, appreciable and welcomed caramel, red fruitiness imparting fruity berries with just a touch of their acidity, meaty without being bacony, peppery and grassy. light carbonation, light body, balanced woodsy-astringent-smoky-peppery-grassy finish. enjoyable.
330ml bottle. Hazy copper body with a huge white head, that just kept on building up. Aroma is smoky, with a touch of campfire, and slightly sweet. Flavor consists basicly of caramel and smoke.
Rauch poco particolare dal forte aroma affumicato che non dispiace ma dal gusto poco deciso! Non ai livelli di alle smoked da me provate in passato.
Passabile!
Dark amber body with a small offwhite head. Aroma of sweet plums and light smoky, taste of caramel, dark malts, raisins and subtle smoke hints. A little light on the smoke to be honest. Finish is bitter and fruity, making an enjoyable, though still a bit boring beer.
Bottiglia, premetto che questa è la mia prima smoked quindi non posso fare dei paragoni, nel bicchiere si presenta con un colore ambrato scuro con una schiuma fine e poco persistente. Aroma affumicato, legno bruciato e malto tostato. In bocca si sente molto il malto seguito dall’affumicatura che non è mai fastidiosa. Per essere la mia prima smoked devo dire che non è male
bière isssue de céréales fumée, qu’on retrouve fortement au nez et en bouche. Presque tourbée, pas de mousse, dans un registre désaltérant. Un goût légèrement acide me dérange un peu.
Perso je n’aime pas cette bière.
Bottle @Mondial de la bière. An amber brown beer with low head. Nose is slightly smoked, aroma is on caramel and light smoked notes associated with seals horse notes, leather. Peppery finish, a shy version of smoked beer.
Smoked salmon and smoked mackerel, that’s a new one! Instead of the usual meaty aroma profile with sausages and the like, the smokey notes in this one actuarially reminds me more of smoked, salty fish. This isn’t as fishy as it sounds, these notes actually makes the aroma far crisper than the heavy meaty aromas of some smoked beers. I don’t get any smoked fish in the flavour, but I guess thats a very good thing. Instead there is a pronounced hoppy fruitiness that plays very well with the gentle smoke. The taste is light to moderate sweet and the finish is light bitter. It is smooth on the palate with a moderate carbonation. In the glass it is hazy with a medium amber colour and a very large, creamy, off-white head. A very nice and different smoked.
[33 cl bottle, enjoyed 3 months before BB date, form Systembolaget Gårda, Göteborg]
Belle bouteille qui crache un liquide brun laid sur lequel flotte une mousse qui semble être malade. Le nez s’ exprime en fumée de bois et en caramel. Simple ou inintéressant, c’est selon. En bouche, rien de tonitruant ou d’impressionnant. Légers malts et fumée sans complexité ou sans complexe. Sur le palais, un corps léger et pétillant qui passe comme de l’eau. Une finale courte et sans impact. Peu stimulant.
330 ml on tap at Birra+. Light brown, slightly hazy, with an average, creamy, moderately persistent off white head. Good lacing. Roasted and meaty nose, some bacon chips notes, smoky cheese (scamorza), a hint of campfire smoke, toffee and burnt caramel. Plesent sweetness, very balanced with just a hint of chocolate bitterness in the aftertaste. So easy to drink and surprisingly refreshing. Average carbonation, light to medium body, slightly creamy texture, Very nice.
Dans l’obscurité dans l’endroit, je perçois une robe plutôt cuivrée et légèrement voilée. Les faisceaux lumineux engendrés par l’éclairage discret du bar me permettent toutefois d’y voir plusieurs particules en suspension. La mousse, à priori très mince, ne tient pas du tout la route.
Les céréales fumées, jumelées au caramel brûlé, constituent le bouquet tourbé de cette bière. Des traces de toffee nous laissent croire qu’un certain aspect sucré balancera le tout en bouche, ce qui est le cas.
Ce côté sucré est la première chose qui se présente à notre palais, le fumé se pointant le bout du nez plutôt en fin de gorgée. Les saveurs de caramel et de toffee s’amplifient plus la bière tempère. Un peu trop pétillante à mon goût, j’aurais probablement apprécié une plus faible carbonatation pour bien cerner les saveurs, mais n’empêche que, dans le style, c’est assez bien fait.
