Hummel Räucherla Märzen - Smoked beer

In Franconia, especially in the Bamberg region, smoked beer is both traditional and modern: some of the oldest smoked beer breweries in the country are located here

The Hummel brewery from Merkendorf does not malt itself, but brews the finest beers from the grain it buys A tasty example of its brewing skills and its connection to Franconian brewing history is Räucherla The palatable Märzen is made with smoked malt and scores with an alcohol content of 5.5% and a full-bodied, dark body

Hummels Räucherla flows into the glass in a chestnut brown dipped in copper red and completes its enticing appearance with a stately crown of creamy, ivory-colored foam A strong bouquet of smoked ham, campfire, roasted malt rises from the fine-pored splendor, oven-fresh bread crust and dried plums The first sip picks up on the olfactory impressions in a culinary way and complements the potpourri with grassy hop notes, caramel and the subtle acidity of hand-brewed Arabica coffee The finish crowns the beer experience with a delicately bitter, smoky finish
