A German-Style Rauchbier brewed with 95% smoked malts for a seriously smoky lager. With a little caramel sweetness and full body, this is a great style of beer for smoked meats and food off the grill. Smoke aromas dominate the nose and follows with a caramel sweetness for balance. Also, we made the beer big enough to have some body to back it up. This Smokey Lager is straight fire!

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear copper with medium beige head that lasts. The aroma is smoked malt, peat, earth. Slick body, smoked malt, meaty, light dryness, very good.

Draight atRevolition on Milwaukee Ave. This is good. It has one of the better smoke aromas for domestic raichbier. Flavor is dry,malt, just a hint of sugar. Campfire, mildly bitter and lasting smoke in the aftertaste.

5oz pour at the Revolution brew pub pours a dark gold with a ring of white head. Nose has quite a bit of smoked and toasted malts, barbecue, some wood shavings, a little sooty. Flavor follows, soot, a little beech wood, tanned leather, straw, a little burnt chaff. Clean finish.

Tap at Revolution Brewing, Milwaulkee Ave, Chicago. Poured a clear medium amber with a round white head. The aroma is smokey with a hint of malt. The flavour is medium to weak bitter with malty hop weak smoke metallic palate. Rather refreshing. One for bacon lovers.

Draft at Revolution. From notes. Sweet and smokey. Bacon fried in maple syrup. Really digging it.
