On tap at Brick Store. Pours dark amber with small beige head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is toasted malt, dark fruit, caramel. Medium body, similar flavors to nose, sweet, light dryness, very nice.

Half liter at the brewery - hazy orange with substantial, lasting head - deeply smoky nose - creamy texture - very dry, bordering on too much so, as there is not enough malt flavor to completely balance the assertive smoke - some light crusty bread pokes through, but not much - moderate bitterness late and lingering smoke - I love smoked lagers, but I need more to smooth and balance out the smoke.

4 oz draft at Schilling’s Lager Fest. Flavor is not aggressively smoked. Taste like mild wood chips, and Band-Aids. Decent for 4.4%

Schilling draught, 3/16/24. Bright maize-peach-honey. Small, white head, slowly to cover. Peachy wood with dainty hop and light honey-like character from malt. Light smoke, bright fruitiness. Not as lager-ish but maybe the smoke detracts. Band aid smoke and I swear I get peach from the wood. Light iodine leading to biscuit and dry but fairly ample malt. Carbonation is off, being loose and watery. Funky, strange, intriguing. Could definitely do a bit more maltiness in texture, even if it is just 4.4%
