Beer Profile
Smoke & Mirrors
This 5.9% ABV Rauchbier offers a distinctive profile defined by its smoked malt character. Poured a deep amber to brown, the aroma immediately presents notes of beechwood smoke, reminiscent of bacon or campfire, balanced by a subtle underlying lager yeast crispness. On the palate, the smoke is prominent yet integrated, providing savory depth that complements a mild malt sweetness and a clean, dry finish typical of a well-crafted lager. The mouthfeel is medium-light, making this smoky brew surprisingly drinkable.
