Tasting Notes

Some love it and some hate it — but it’s absolutely worth trying at least once in a lifetime. The beechwood smoked malt offers a unique aromatic profile: smoke, ham, wood blending with the typical malt sweetness of Märzen. On the palate, it’s round, with a full body and a long, smoky finish that lingers in memory.

A beer that divides opinions but never leaves anyone indifferent. Authentic, historic, unrepeatable.
