Nice smoked pork Rauch Bier quality with some maple, honey, and brown sugar. Light and not as aggressive as others in the style. Would go nicely with BBQ, bacon. and char-grilled dishes. Medium mouthfeel...really tasty. JMerritt (1320), Macomb, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 9, 2009 On tap at Red Rock, Salt Lake City. Red/gold with a soda-like white head. Smokey aroma has a brown-sugar/maple syrup undertone (very reminiscent of maple bacon). Flavor: smoke has a fruity sweetness to it that reminds me of grilled peaches, the citric hops really lend this beer an interesting quality. Smoked fruit beer almost. I dug this - a rauchbier I could actually drink more than one of in a sitting. Interesting take on the style. Headbanger (1591), Aurora, Illinois, USA

Aroma of smoke and more smoke. Smoke, malt and sweetness is in the taste along with a slight dryness and bitterness. This medium bodied brew was darn tasty. It was well balanced. Nice job.

Ashy, pasty texture up fornt, flavor of stale cigarette ashes. Slimy, filmy finish. Passable. douglas88 (1626), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a thick white head. The aroma is mostly a rich malt with tons of smoke and meaty notes. The taste was also fairly smoke filled, but also with some lingering malts and a bit of hops. Pretty easy to drink and not bad.

The nose is smoky and bright with campfire and peat. Lots of hop to throw everything off. Comes across acrid and sour, bouncing between smoke and bitter. Not appetizing.
