Heavyweight Cinderbock Lager

Formerly brewed at Heavyweight Brewing Company
Style: Smoked
Ocean Township, New Jersey USA

Not a fan. Pours mirky brown with an orange hue, verry little head. Aroma is sour, like a flemish sour ale, and some liquid smoke. Flavor is very sour, and smokey, overpowering.

ewwwwwwwwwwww, a smoked cider just terriable i like heavyweight beers but i dont know why this is so badif you into that smoke then i guess i like smoky porters but this just goes too far

Very unique brew in this lager. Having poured a very brownish dark color, the smokey aroma is almost overpowering, yet mouth watering at the same time. Flavor, unsurprisingly, is dominated by a smokey maltiness, though not much complexity is found here. Finish is long and, you guessed it, smokey. Tasty, yet one-dimensional.

Bottle. Deep copper coloured beer, thin off-white/yellow head. Sweet beech smokiness, well-developed caramel malt, toast and honey. Very clean maltiness. Flavour is beautiful, deep soft smoke overlying a bready toasty malt base. Lingering interplay of smoke and bread through the finish. Some light yeastiness in the finish as well. Really nice rauchbier and much better than I gave it credit for the first time around. Doesn’t taste anywhere close to 7%. Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil shared with dickinsonbeer and beastiefan2k. Hazy orange beer, thin white head. Strong smoky aroma, slightly soapy. Nice sweet maltiness dancing around behind all of the smoke. Flavour is a bit fruity with orange peel and toast plus the aforementioned smoke. Decently hopped with some nice noble character coming through. As it warms the body thins quite a bit. It’s decent, but it ain’t no Heller-Trum either. 6/3/7/3/12

This beer pours maroon and leaves a thin white lace. The nose is spectacular, so smokey just the right amount of smoke and sweetness in the nose. The body is clean, clear, with a small amount of yeast settled in the bottom of the glass. The taste starts on the palate smooth, def malty up front by design smoke infused bock. The taste on the palate then moves to a small lemon tartness on the palate, to a smoke presence that reminds me of eating some smoked meats almost savory funny what the nose can tell the tastebuds, then it finishes sweet with some caramel, toffee, and the smokiness you get from roasted nuts. Very complex and a pleasure to drink.

Bottled: Orange light brown colour. Dusty. Beige dense head. Light meaty aroma. Sweetmess and balanced smoke. Quite pleasant. Very smoked and baconish flaovur. Some fruity notes. Has some herbal notes. Is medium bodied. Ends on a smoked meaty note. Quite good smoked beer. Loads of thanks to Probiere for this excellent brew.

Thanks styles, Poured a hazy burnt orange with a thin white head that cleared very quickly. Aroma was a sweet smoked malt flavor.Flavor was a sour maltiness up front with light sweet smoked flavor with a pineapple like flavor in the finish. strange..

Fair domestic example of rauchbier, or "smoked beer". I applaud Heavy Weight for attempting the style, but would have liked more smoke character in aroma and flavor. Cinderbock pours to a deep golden to light amber color, with a tight, white head that fades, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose is fragrant with aromas of light smoke, soot, and nutty malt. The palate is firm, with some nutty and toasty malt flavor paired with some smoky and sooty flavor. Cinderbock finishes with more toasted malt , smoke and sooty flavor up front, then ends with a dry, smoky flavor that lingers. Nice example of the style, but clearly a step or two below German versions. Would match well with artisan cheeses, wild game, German fare, and BBQ.
