Roog

Smoked beer goes back to the beer production before the 19th century and survived after modernisation of kilning technology (indirect kilning)  mainly in the upper Franconian city of Bamberg. The malt used for this kind of beer is still direct kiln-dried over open beech fire and thereby nourishes its typical flavour.

Classic smoked beer displays a very dominant smoke flavour which is often considered to be too overbearing. Roog, the smoked ale from Braufactum, has reduced the smokiness without robbing the beer of its typical characteristics. The triad of smoke and wheat beer combined with special malt flavours  results in complex taste and a high drinkability. Roog has won the silver medal at WBC in 2012.

Marzus

Märzen dates back to the 16th century when refrigeration engines did not exist and the last month for brewing beer was March.  The beer was kept in the cellars until october when the new season began. Thus, it was brewed more strongly and had distinctive malt aroma.
A large amount of caramel malt and special mashing process is used for Braufactum Marzus  which creates the amber colour and intensive caramel aroma.
Color of BraufactuM Marzus is caramel, foam formation is strong.  The scent is of malt, candied sugar and orange zest. Foam is pleasantly in the mouth, taste is dry. Brown bread aroma is highlighted by a note of roasted chestnuts and caramel revealing balanced bitter notes. A strong finish.
