Officially blended and kegged for Dovetail's annual "Thank You For Smoking" event on 4/20/22. This is a 50/50 blend of Maibock & Rauchdoppelbock, a bigger version of the classic Hagen Big blend of Lager & Rauchbier. Served in a 10 oz. Willi Becher glass.

Dark mahoghany brown, good clarity, ample head of tan foam, spotty lacing.

Smoky aroma, somewhat subdued by the blend, a sweetness from the Maibock.

Taste is sweet and smoky, roast malt and light chocolate and fruity yeast esters. Still fairly mild on the smoke scale, but probably moderate for others. Full bodied, light to moderate carb level. Slightly less easy drinking than the Hagen Big, but it was also the first beer to disappear. Fun to try this special blend, hope it returns next year.
