Beer style: Smoked - Rauchbier

Common descriptors are
A German style Rauchbier (literally “smoke beer” in German) with a Kentucky twist. Nearly 50% smoke malt, both beechwood and cherry wood smoked, make this ale one smokey mother effer. The balance of the malt is German Munich malt and 60# of Kentucky grown sweet sorghum. The Munich malt lends a mellow sweetness while the sorghum lightens the body and provides citrusy and spicy notes. We then balance this beer with traditional German hops Hallertau and Tettnang.
