Baron Brewing - Rauchbier


A rauchbier is essentially like drinking a campfire. The smokey flavor is overwhelming for most people but for those with refined palates, however, this beer is quite the delicacy. "I thought you said this was a raunchy beer." Sorry you freak pervert but this beer has nothing to do with your backroom shenanigans despite the similarities in annunciation. Baron Brewing, out of Seattle, Washington, brews a damn fine rauchbier. Bearing a plain black and white label, the bottle contains a patient brew which is ready to pounce at any given moment. The smoke is not overwhelming and the overall 'thickness' is minimal so this can be enjoyed in front of a crackling fire in the dead of winter or around the campfire on a hot summer night. For its style I give it a 4 out of 5. Drink it.
