Lager-brewed with smoked malts, this Rauchbier is mellowed by oak-aging. Black malt flavors mesh with notes of raisins, plums, figs and licorice with the subtle smoke on the side.

Bomber. Deep brown body with a light brown head. Smoky aroma with notes of roast, caramel, wood, chocolate. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture and moderate carbonation. Char and burnt wood taste in the finish with a hint of orange and cherry. Smoke, chocolate and roast tastes turn to sherry as the alcohol and oxidation hit the back of the tongue. A lot going on in this beer, but not all are pleasing. Thanks wnoble.

This beer pours a dark brownish-black color with a medium tan head that recedes to a film eventually. Spotty lacing on the glass. Smoky, roasty aroma with notes of malt and chocolate. Medium body with a subtle smoked character, possibly tempered by the oak aging? Notes of dark chocolate and coffee as well. The finish is roasted malt with a touch of dark fruit on the back end. Pretty good overall.
