Smoked Lager with sweet potatoes, sage, and brown sugar, 6.9%
Brewed with grains from our farm and fellow small farms in Virginia and North Carolina. The sweet potatoes were grown by our friends and neighbors, Potomac Vegetable Farms, and roasted overnight by more friends and neighbors, Fireside Farm. We hand-processed the still warm taters early the next morning and mixed them into the cereal mash, where they mingled with cold-smoked malt, sage we grow here, and brown sugar. Once fermented, the beer rested in oak puncheons prior to bottle conditioning.

750 ml bottle shared by jcos, 11/6/22. Dark rusty orange-brown. Beige head. Light smoke. Subtle earth. Some grains and caramel / toffee. Pretty solid. Definitely lighter bodied and more subtle flavor-wise then I read expecting, but it's nice overall.
