Year of New Beer: Rail Dog Smoked Black Lager, Thirsty Dog Brewing (OH)

Written By: Dion on 02/01/2014

Campfire smoke, peat, coffee and chocolate on the nose. All of these aspects transition to the tongue along with toasted bread crust and nutty elements. In all fairness, I'm probably drinking this summer release beer well past it's prime, as the smoke is not nearly where I would like for a schwarzbier. Would like to try this fresh, but still a pretty good beer.
