Fireside Ale
Deep reddish copper. Belgian lacing. Subltle smoke, caramel,bready malt, and nutty aroma's. Nice rich caramel malt flavor with a light but ample smokiness. Some slight oak flavors present on the finish. Nice creamy mouthfeel, flavors really coat the tongue nice. This is a really approachable rauch beer. I could throw a few of these back without the smoke flavors becomming overbearing, if I didn't think the sneaky 7+ abv, would knock me on my arse. Good for someone who is a bit timid when it comes to some of the other stronger rauches. It's the rich malt flavors that keep things interesting here. I do however, love a good smoke bomb from time to time. Well done. This paired fantastic with smoked salmon corn chower.
