I looked around a bit and didn't seen a topic on this particular type of beer. Rauch/smoked beer is is a type of beer with smoke aromas/taste from drying the barley over flame. Its growing in popularity in the US as more malters are offering it to craft breweries. It originally was found in a certain region of Germany.
I mention this because a lot of the same tastes/flavors found in BBQ are found in this beer. It can be weird to describe a beer as smokey, bacon, beef or meat but those are hints of flavor imparted in a well-done smoked beer. One of the first non-macro lagers that I enjoyed was a smoked beer.
Being new to smoking meat I am curious to try this beer with the food I make to see how it pairs. I expect it to be a bit overwhelming but it could work out, we shall see. Its also a nice way to add some smokiness to beer cheese soup.
Cheers,
Hoff
