Possibly the most characterful beer I found in Portugal. Interesting, anyway. Sweet, malty nose is only slightly smoky. It’s an amber, sweetish lager with some malty, boozy depth. It has a sweet bitterness but carries malty flavor into the aftertaste.

<i>Draught at República da Cerveja, Lisbon. </i> Deep golden, small but firm head. Heavily smokey nose with beechwood and bacon. Medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. The sweetness hides the alcohol well. Low bitterness. Sweetness & smoke combines like an American BBQ sauce. An interesting seasonal of this faux-brewpub.
