Wolf's Ridge Brewing Buchenrauch
First sniff like cherry branches on the smoker while sipping a malty dunkel—dark toffee, a bit of harsh smoke. Flavor blasts rich malt with dried plum and date, wrapped in melanoidin and chocolate malts. Hops plus smoke leave a heavy-handed impression. Smoke is rich but smooth and pleasant.
