I don't like smoked beer but I liked that one. I focused on the mouth feel first and it was really smooth and pleasant, then I forgot about the smoke, then I poured another, and another ...from the tap in your brewhouse

I enjoyed it the 3 times I had it, honestly it was really easy drinking and I'll be getting it again, although your APA is my go to (I love my hops). As for feed back, I split the last squealer with my buddy Cory and he was a fan. He is looking forward to drinking it again.
My buddy Shawn wasn't a fan, but yet again his pallet isn't developed and tends to stick to Sleeman Honey Brown. I'm glad I only poured him a small sample.

What changes are you planning for this beer?

Different yeast. All about the smoke flavour and nothing else.

Enjoying it but wasn't what I was expecting at all. Aroma is almost fruity rather than the bacony blast I was expecting. English yeast?

Really like that it doesn't have an acrid or acidic aftertaste like a lot of smoked beers have.

Yeast change is to get rid of the fruit! Good pick up on that!

Surprised I could pick that up after working 16+ hours today and sucking back one of your RIS beforehand. :spilly:

This is really great stuff. Wishing I'd ordered more than two bottles now.

I had the Pale Monday, the RIS Tuesday and I'll have this one tonight and will report back. Both of the others were magnificent. The RIS actually tastes a LOT like my Prime Mover RIS, but mine has "mystery flavour" question marks in it.

Drinking it now. Very good beer. Definitely not as smoky as I imagined it would be. I did an Irish Red Ale with 30% smoked malt and it was overpowering for months. This is a more subtle smokiness. It is, in my opinion, a unique product on our brewing horizon. I personally would probably not buy more than one every once in a while, but I could see it having a real niche market. If I had to rank the 3 I'd go (neck in neck) APA, RIS and then the rauch.

Did I miss out on this? I had some of the flat stuff when I visited your brewery and quite liked it. It was delicious and also pretty unique. I'd love to drink some with some ribs or perhaps when I'm out camping... Yessir.

Is it a good beer for people like me to enjoy who aren't hard core rauchbier drinkers? I don't think there are many hard core rauchbier drinkers out there. Are you after a niche market or do you want a beer that appeals to many? Most people seemed to be really enjoying it at the valley meeting, raving about it in fact. I wouldn't change it. Work your magic on a new beer instead, and leave that one as it is. If you change it now it's out there, some will be disappointed.

Split the two bottles between a handful of guys Friday. The concensus was: very enjoyable beer, not as smokey as some were expecting/fearing, did come off as sweet, though that could be be yeast characteristics. Cheers!
