Description
Rogue Smoke (previously known as Welkommen on draft) is a German style Rauchbier (Smoke Beer), which was inspired by the Fall of the Berlin Wall. Most rauch brews are bottom fermented, however Rogue Smoke, is top fermented. It is orange-amber in hue with a delicate smoke aroma and flavor with an intense hop finish.
In All About Beer, August, 1995 issue, Christopher Brooks writes Alder wood is the smoking agent though a small amount of Bamberg malt is used in the mash too. Beech is drier than alder reports brewmaster John Maier so we use a little of that for added complexity. Welkommen a smoky nutty ale is also very dry which given the 15 pounds of hops (perle and Saaz) added to each 15-barrel batch is no surprise. The seven medals in nine years which Rogue Smoke won at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver are also a tribute to this unusual brew.
