Capacious smoked oak chip frontage settles to chocolate-cocoa nicety, safeguarding sweet beechwood-aided butterscotch warmth. Seared wood proclivity tones down roasted barleymalt restraint without sacrificing mocha-vanilla subtlety.

Lusciously syrupy Bavarian dark beer matches aromatic Scotch sweetness to burnt wood chip essence and smoked barley-oat spine. Frisky spiced hops enhance ashy mouthfeel while persistent caramel-maple malts sweeten well-rounded composition for lean full-bodied heavyweight.

Peculiar maple-cured bacon, barbecued beef jerky, and singed hickory fumes inundate superfine porter that compares favorably to Germany’s Aecht rauchbiers. Upon pouring, chunky spume forms lusciously cascading tan head atop velvety brown-bodied bottom. Efficient cedar-smoked black chocolate prelude receives dry char-hopped tar-like coffee midriff, ancillary tobacco-molasses-walnut respite, and nimble black cherry trifle.

Intriguing mocha-scented dry-roasted smoked beer with wood-burnt beechwood spicing, toasted barley-oats sashay, and ashy tobacco undercurrent. Scotch malt sweetness lingers through sour yeast splurge and smoky cocoa malting above polite soft water base. Lacks strength, depth, and sufficient finish of better rauchbiers. Brewery defunct: 2009.
