Cerveja Bamberg Rauchbier



I acquired this beverage at a gift exchange over the holidays and almost forgot about it sitting in my fridge until last week.  Cassondra made a fantastic filet mignon, with a poached egg, and I thought the beer would go great with this fine meal.  The initial taste of the Bamberg Rauchbier had a little smokiness, which went well with the meat.  A note of hops, accompanied by a toffee flavor, then followed this smokiness.  It was very reminiscent of a German bier that is not overly malty and finishes clean.  I would also say this cerveja would be a good accompaniment with a cigar or smoke, that is, if you smoked and/or had more than one of these fine beers to enjoy!

KOP Rating 6.5/10
