Baron Rumpelstiltskin Rauch Doppelbock

Brewed by Baron Brewing & Lunar Brewing
Style: Smoked
Seattle, Washington USA

22 oz. bottle shared by PilsnerPeter. Pours very dark brown, nearly black, with a brown head. Very pleasant aroma of smoked meat and sweet malt. The flavor is quite similar to the aroma with smoked meat and malt. About my only complaint here, and it is minor, is that this is perhaps a bit too light-bodied to carry such strong flavors. Otherwise, I thought this beer was quite good.

Pours deep amber with garnet edges and mocha head. Great looking brew. The aroma is full rauch smokiness with hints of sweet and dark malts in the background. The taste has pleasant even-ness to it between the smoky alderwood like goodness, caramel maltiness and mild roasty malts. It ends with mild drying malt astringency.

Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock tap at Brouwers .. hopefully this is the right base beer. Thick brown head on a deep brown body. nose of oak and smoke which is heavy on the taste too. underlying beer doesnt really stand up to these heavy notes, but is a decent bock. touch sweet and coats the mouth nicely. very interesting, best from baron Ive had.

Bottle. Mahogony beer with a tan head. Caramel, smoke, and light chocolate aroma. Sweet caramel flavor with light dark fruitiness and light smoke. Medium-plus bodied. Slightly oily mouthfeel. Sweet caramel and light dark fruit lingers. Needs more smoke.

Poured a clear very deep golden brown color and small off-white head. The aroma was fairly smoky with some raisin notes poking out. Smoky tart raisin flavor. Medium bodied.

Bottle (dregs)… Backus’s Backdoor Bash ‘08 … Murky prune-juice colored lager with a small, creamy, beige head. Great retention. In the nose, smoke and dark fruits abound. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Acidic, pleasantly sweet flavors meld with moderate bitterness. Tangy, then dry, finish. Muchos kudos to Ibrew2or3 for bringing this one to the Throwdown!

Dark brown, ruby with a thin off white head. Aroma is smokey, light chocolate, caramel, light alcohol. Taste is light smoke, taste is a bit sour, some chocolate- alcohol is well hidden however.

Courtesy Ibrew2or3. Dark brown color, thin off-white head. Nice smoky, slightly sweet malty aroma, smoke is not overboard. Nice smooth taste, mix of rich sweet roast and malt. Not bad.
