Initial rauchbier-like peat-kilned smokiness gains brown-sugared pineapple adjunct and honeyed amber graining. Grilled pineapple tartness picks up orange-candied red apple, red grape and tangerine tang that subverts its peaty wood-burnt bog. An offbeat hybridized peculiarity.
On tap at Poor Henry’s, fabulous brown-bodied peach version of liquefied swisher cigar drapes dried peach puree syruping atop dank blunt-like cannabis acridity, oats-smoked pale wheat malts and crisp charcoal-fired tobacco roast. Peach blunt likeness picks up subdued black grape, walnut and black chocolate undertones as well.
Uniquely designed Norwegian medium body utilizes spiced juniper berries to lightly embitter peat-smoked brown chocolate malts. Fire-kilned hickory and pine-needled spruce increase juniper freshness. Tertiary toffee, burgundy and glazed ham illusions settle near moderated wood-smoked mocha province.
On tap at Plank Pizza, uniquely hybridized rauchbier takes cannabis-derived blunt cigar flavoring to a new level. Dark-roasted mocha malting drapes dry Concord grape adjunct, tobacco-roasted peat smokiness and hash-oiled lupulin musk. Oak-smoked wheat influence, dank earthen soiling and charred walnut sear add depth.
Thinning peat-smoked maple malting (with a beechwood hint) drapes roasted hazelnut-pecan-walnut conflux and faded honey-glazed bacon sear. Dissipating maple influence allows phenol peppery-hopped astringency to ransack dry-malted raw molasses finish.
Complacent autumnal Bavarian moderation lacks depth and gets soapy. Checkered cherrywood-smoked mocha malts and Band-Aid aromatics fade into oblivion. Washed-out beechwood char and musty hickory-singed cured meat snip lost amongst brisk carbolic fizz to sooty backend.
Overreaching experimental smoked ale clashes peppery rauchbier-like meat curing against cake-frosted doughnut likeness for a peculiar mix that runs out of steam by its worn-out finish. Beechwood, cherrywood and hickory smoked malts make initial impression, contrasting pastry-like pancake battering, aromatic vanilla sweetness and syrupy maple sinew. Applewood-smoked bacon, glazed ham and charred cedar illusions get lost amongst crowded concoction in conspicuous bright pink bottle.
Interesting wood-soaked grassy-hopped smoked beer closer to mainstream than other Dochter offerings. Bittersweet citric grape spicing accentuates smoked jalapeno peppering, grist-grained barnyard funk, and wafting Band-Aid remnant. Ginger, sage, and herbal tea fill out backend.
