AmaZINGLY wtfISH!!! yeah literally wow..BURNED…smoked…FUCK!!!..A heavy metal evil brew…I kid not…devil’s chocolate..yes….maybe…LOL…This is Rauchstar!!!!!! Scandanavian smoked Ale by Stillwater Artisanal and Mikkeller, 9.4%ABV. Now i don’t think I have ever had a ROCK beer or a HEAVY METAL, Metallica/Slayer type of beer. LOL yes the art of this monstrosity/divinity is just as that intention…intention for ROCK!!… but damn….how can someone get rocked in terms of flavor so DAMN well…well this proves it…this beer and its extremity of lost as you won’t find this…no you wont…I was one lucky shit to even get this when I did..lol but how can I put this. Surely a lot of people have tried stouts and know its chocolatey and coffee like but also a sensation of minor roast to its concoction. Well this takes it too a true Bacon/meat/salmon smoked flavor. YES INDEED!!..this reminds me of a light Tactical Nuclear Penguin. Like tasting a camp fire roast or nice smoked beef jerky. Not for the lighthearted in taste….not bitter like Arrogant Bastard but takes on the opposite spectrum in both flavor and melody for sure. Something burning?? well just the rage against the machines of bad beers..LOL this is is truly the massive rock savior. While I solo out on this crazy brew I can only begin to describe a little more about the flavor. There is a sense of some dark fruit, pine, coffee, and chocolate to this mess as well as vanilla and earth notes for sure. Not quite the stout for sure but roasted malts and roasted hops…LOL its like they were trying to go for saison but ended up burning the farmhouse down with EPIC ROCK!!! Stairway to heaven maybe….Hallowed be thy name?? you bet!!.. Sandman? keep drinking…BWAHAHAHAH!!!! RAUCH RULES!!
