Commercial Description:
Our Batch 1000 Smoked Lager has a rich and robust flavor, medium body, and about 5.5% alcohol. It is a copper gold beer with smoky notes in the aroma. If you’ve never tried a smoked beer, the flavor is unlike any beer you’ve ever had. It’s like a smoky scotch without the burn – or Canadian bacon without the pig. The flavor is a complex blending of sweet smoked malt and crisp German hops.

I think the smoke was a little overdone, but this isn’t my favorite style, so I may be a bit biased. A little too synthetic, liquid smoke tasting. Despite this, the beer was good, the malt and hops provided a good back bone for the smoke offering.

Hand bottled,Thanks TAR&CB. Carmel colored translucent, small white head. Aroma is carmelly and smokey, like Virginia baked ham. Flavor is very meaty and thick. Finish starts off sweet with a touch of smoke and end very smokey like "Canadian Bacon".

Tap: Light gold/amber with little head. Smoke,smoke,smoke,smoke. My first smoked beer and it is very unique. Just couldn’t do more than one if I had to. It was like drinking a smoked salmon if that is possible?

On tap: Strong smokey aroma. Orangish-gold with a white head. Excellent smoke flavor. Smoke is virtually all the flavor. Reminds me of smoke salmon or beef jerkey. Really enjoyed this one although I don’t think I could drink a lot of it.

Clear orange at the top of the pint, but omninously dark orange at the bottom, sticky white/tan lacing head. Aroma of smoked ham and dried raw bacon. Great mouthwatering aroma. Nice mouthfeel with plenty of other subtle tastes behind the strong smokey Rauchbier flavors, soft applesauce, fresh baked bread, crisp caraway seed hints at the finish. An awesome beer!

Draft at the Arbor Brewing Company Pub & Eatery. Small ivory head, sparse lacing, uncarbonated, transparent, and an orange hue. Smokey aroma and malty and smokey flavor. Smooth, watery, thin mouthfeel. Light bodied beer.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of unnoted finely sized mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained no carbonation, was transparent and copper in color. Its aroma contained notes of smoky malts. Its mouth feel is initially slightly tingly with a flat palate. Its flavor contained smoky malty notes. A very average brew.

Tap. Deep amber colored. Moderate white head. Very nice smokey aroma. Well balance malt, lots of nice smokey flavor. Like liquid smoked salmon. Hops present in finish, earthy flavored. Well done.
