Mar 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to mar. The smell is smoke, malts, breadlike, sort of weak. The look is clear, copper in color, not too much off white head. The taste is smoke, malts, caramel, and not much else. Ok but lacking some.

May 31, 2009 12 oz bottle from ucusty. Labeled as Carolina Seasonal, Rauch Beer, 01/28/09, best by 04/28. Pours clear copper with a big off white head. Smoky nose, but does not defeat the caramel and sweet grain. Smoky flavor, not really a woody smoke, hard to place. Sweet grain and caramel. Light earthiness. A decent drinker.

Jan 31, 2009 Updated: Apr 9, 2009Crystal clear amber pour, thick off white head that slowly settles to a fine film and a single ring of drippy lace. Light smoke and caramel malts on the nose. Medium bodied with sweet malts up giving way to a light smokey finish. Really easy to drink. This beer could be more in your face smokey, but I guess the brewer didn’t want to go that route.

Mar 19, 2009 Thanks ucusty for sharing. Pours a translucent light copper with a one finger light tan head. The nose is leafy, hoppy, bready malt, musty, some cardboard. Very little smoke comes through in the nose or flavor. Flavor is malty, some smoke, leafy hops. Not too hot.

Mar 19, 2009 Bottle shared by ucusty - thanks, David! Nose is grainy and somewhat sweet like a marzen. Leafy hops and some kinda bland caramel malts. Much the same profile as you get with many of their other seasonals, in other words. Thin body, clean palate, and only the mildest smoke.
