Bottle. Pour is a dark amber/brownish copper with a pretty big head and sweet caramel/bread dough and nut aromas. Smoke comes through in flavor much stronger, however and it is fairly interesting to see how it mixes with the flavors that are also present in the nose. While it is fairly interesting to see how this plays out in a \"lager,\" it sure doesn’t hit a chord with me...

Pour is a dark red with a tan head. Aroma is mildly smoky with some biscuity malts. Flavor is again a very mild smoke with a nice roasted malt. You probably could not handle more than one of these in a night but this is easy to drink for a smoked as the smoke is very subtle. Deffinatly not a bacon bomb.

batch 05. Pours amber with a quasi non existant head. Nose is lightly smoky. Aroma is a sweet and enjoyable smoky. Some caramel malt. Highly enjoyable. This is a a great beer to start with if you plan on trying stronger more intense flavored Rauchbier.

Bottled, thanks Crosling! Hazy reddish amber,small creamy head. Estery raspberry aroma. Medium bodied and lightly caramelly. Mildly warming with toffee and berries. Great stuff! Possibly the most well balanced weizenbock I’ve tasted from America.

Needed a wrench to pull the cork. Once the cork pops the ale explodes and spews volcanically a deep amber into a flute. Had to cap to keep from gushing as it sat. Medium sized head receded to skim surface. Sweet pit fruit from front to back with a lasting alcohol finish. Heavily carbonated, but refreshing palate. Lots of floaties toward the end of the bottle.

12 0z brown bottle with a twist off cap. Looks just a tad darker that the everyday pale yellow beer. Yeasty aroma which is a little pale-ish and alky sweet yet not very hoppy. First taste is surprisingly like a decent wheat beer, with a little hop bitterness added in. As the session continues, the wheatish attributes fade just a little while the hop character begins to build. I bet the secret blend includes some wheat or wheat yeast. I put off tasting this cause I thought it would be too hoppy, which it is not. Finish is certainly a tad hoppy but very acceptable without any bad offenses. Probably should not be in the Pale Ale Style Category. If it is actually a pale ale, it’s the best I’ve ever tasted.
