A German Style Rauchbier brewed with 95% smoked malts for a seriously Smokey lager. With a little caramel sweetness and a Fuller body, this is a great style of beer for smoked meats and food off the grill.

I had this on draft 10/27/22 @ Revolution's taproom.
Mild smoke and caramel, in the nose and the palate.
Medium mouthfeel with a hint of creaminess.
A pleasant, easy drinking rauch. I'd have another!!

On tap at the source. A clear amber-brown color with a thick off-white head. Huge smokey aroma. Like smelling a grilled Bratwurst. The taste followed. Floral hops and a fleeting bready malt presence that was quickly overcome by a sweet smoked malt flavor. Balanced enough to allow the other flavors to present. Clean finish. Well done.

Clear copper color.
Nice smoked malts. Light roast. Bacon flavored.
Easy drinking Rauch beer. Not over powering in any way. Fairly clean as well.
I could drink a pint easily.
