110K+OT Batch #1 - Der Rauch Gott
Bottle courtesy gunhayver. Poured into a tasting glass. Extremely dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is obviously smokey but it's not really meaty like the Schlenkerla rauchbiers. More like charred redwood bark. Also a decent amount of roastiness and burnt sugar. Flavor is similar but the smoke seems multifaceted, unlike any other smoked beer I've had. It's like every single ingredient was dried over smoldering alder and cedar before being used in this beer. Burnt wood, burnt caramel, burnt fruit, burnt chocolate. Body is well thicker than medium, but everything is crafted so well and there's no booziness so it remains drinkable. Awesome imperialization of the rauch style.
