Dreaming is a robust, yet balanced beer brewed with 73% beechwood-smoked malt and lagered for 8 weeks. Crisp, creamy, smooth and malt-forward, this strong lager shows notes of toast, toffee and smoked wood, with a drying nuttiness in the finish. Brewed in collaboration with our friends at Bierstadt Lagerhaus (Denver, CO).

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tall tulip. Consumed 05/10/2024.
Appearance: dark red to dark brown color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet smoke with woody notes and a subtle dark fruit whiff to it; light toffee and some light nuttiness
Flavor: pretty much combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet smoky quality: finishes woody smoky with a touch of dark fruits and nuts
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; very smooth along the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done smoked beer that seemed a bit different than other smoked beers I"ve had.

Canned. Pours a pleasant brown. Strong smoky bacon hops blending into malts. Very nice Rauch.

4 oz draft at Schillng’s Lager Fest. Aroma has soft nuts with a mild smoke. In the flavor the smoke is not obnoxious. It actually complements the malts. Drinks rather well. Very nice for the style!

Schilling draught, 3/16/24. Clear, lighter amber-auburn. Dark beige head. Iodine-like smoke with caramel, raisin and moderate acidity from toasted malt character. Lightly smokey but more wood and iodine with a medium, malty body with great attenuation. Clean and snappy, very flavorful and drinkable.
