Buzzards Bay Rauch Bier

Bottle, thanks to dickinsonbeer I think. Opaque yellowish-brown pour. Aroma is smoked malt, sweet bubblegum also. Flavor is the same, with some chocolate and floral hops.

12 oz bottle. Dark color, slight smoky nose. Not really a fan of Rachbiers, but this was easy to drink. Kind of like porter with a touch of smoke. Pretty good.

12 oz bottle. Pours a real woody smokey colored copper with a thin soda-like head that dissipates. Aroma is nutty, fishy, light smoked salmon- toasted malts, and a bit of plastic. Flavor is on the weak side all around and a bit weak in the smoke department- I was hoping for a lot more, especially since they seem to do lagers pretty well here. Very papery, ligth caramel malts, waterd down flavor, some smoldering campfire- but light, not big enough to give it a smoked meaty character. Very light and easy to drink.

Fresh growler. Pours mahogany with a white head. Smells of caramel, hints of smoke, roses. Tastes smoky with a nice peppery backbone. Lots of caramel and earthiness also present. Mouthfeel is tingly with an earthy bitter finish. A decent beer but I like my smoked beers more smoky than this.

Thanks Naven. A pretty drinkable Rauch, which isn’t one of my preferred styles. Not as heavy on the smoke as some that I’ve had and that was a bonus. Easily drinkable and would go well with a nice, juicy steak.
