Not strictly a ‘Franconian Rauchbier’, Ghisa is still very interesting and original. It partners smoked cheeses and salted meats very well but I suggest it with smoked fish (kippered North Sea herrings).
Appearance is impressive, that of a ‘monk’s habit’, with ebony reflections, and the head is thick with ‘cappuccino’ color notes
Nose of roasted coffee and smoked cheese.
Taste appears after the ‘shock’ of the smoke, a pleasant melted liquorice dominates, leaving a small space for light ‘boiled plums’ notes.
Aftertaste reveals in succession a wide variety of dried fruit: carob, hazelnut, nut and cassia. A lovely bitterness stays for a long time in the end of the tongue to constrast very well with dried fruit dominating notes.
