Pours an amber-brown color with an eggshell colored head and good carbonation. Good lacing through consumption. Smells smokey yet some sweetness is present via the nose. Taste reveals some caramel or candy up front and then finishes with a long smokey flavor. A definite favorite from Victory.

I love this beer. I know this is one of those "take it or leave it" beers. I have brought growlers of it to parties and people don't take to the smokey aftertaste of a rauchbier. I would love to see Victory brew this more regularly. I haven't had it in two years and I check the taplist regularly. This is one of the better rauchbier said I have had.

Holy liquid smoke! I felt like I had been sitting near a camp fire from the smells and taste coming from my glass.
