Let's see. Is anyone into smoked beers or "Rauchbiers" as they're known? I've been enjoying those recently. A good one tastes like eating bacon around a bonfire.

This one is good.

I've had a few Rauchbiers. Beer drinking is making me more worldly, learning all the German, Belgian, and English beer terminology.

No idea. It was on tap at the local beer shop, same one who had Pliny the Elder the other day. So delicious.

I had one of those a while back. Took one sip and poured the rest down the drain. I hate smoked beers, which is a bit odd, since I drink scotch (and Laphroaig at that).

I thin it depends on how the smoke is used and works with other flavors. I'm a fan of Laphroaig as well, but I shy away from other peat-monsters. I think it's that it's not very sweet and the mix of smoke with the briny, ocean notes that that I enjoy so much in Lap. But smoke paired with just peach or honey flavors? Blech..
