Commercial Description:
Bishop Bob's Holy Smoke This beer is a Bamberg-style Rauchbier. The town of Bamberg in Germany originated the style of smoked beers. These beers are made with a dose of smoked barley. Our recipe relies on a light bock recipe for its base and contains about 20% imported smoked barley. The noble German hops are used to balance the taste into a unique beer drinking experience.

Big thanks to my sister Lori for sending down a growler of this. My sister ROCKS! Pours out amber with gold edges and full tan head. The aroma has malts, chocolate, bacon and a light dash of bandaid. The taste has modest levels of malt and a bit of chocolate here and there. Midway the smoke shows up as the beer thins out creating an earthy – bacony – slightly rubbery bandiad-y mélange of flavor notes. It is a decent enough beer and the smoke certainly doesn’t overwhelm (for most I’m guessing that’s a good thing).

On tap at Dragonmead. 3-13-09. Poured dark brown with light amber hues. Smelled of malt and campfire. Tasted very light malty, lots of hardwood smke, even a little cask-aged. Light body and easy drinkability. I might mix this beer and the jalapeno beer together next time and see what happens.

On tap at the Dragonmead Brew Pub. Poured a deeper brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of some smoked meat and peaty. Tastes of smoked meat, peat, and some caramel. The smoke was there but not strong.

Mahogany pour with thin lace. Smells of smoke and spice. Smoke flavor, damp wood and roasty malt. Medium thin body.

On tap @ the brew pub: Pours a clear copper color with a light tan head. Aroma, smoky and malty. Flavor, smoky, peaty, some caramel, light chocolate hints, and some roasted notes, the smoke was quite well balanced.

On tap at Dragonmead. Deep red-brown body, dense cream head. Distinctive smoked peat aroma. Creamy, light, peaty body, emphasizing the smoked malts. If anything, this wasn’t brave enough with the smoked characteristics. It felt too watered down.

Draft... Clear, very dark, crimson lager with a small, creamy, khaki head. Hickory, campfire smoke aroma. Perfectly balanced flavor with lots of BBQ smoke. Low residual sweetness and light bitterness. Medium-bodied and thin with modest carbonation.

Tap @ D’mead. Black beer with no head. Smoke flavor like suggested in the name. Watery texture. Dragonmead has better selections before trying this one.
