Poor, neglected blog :)<br /><br />From what I gather, Smokey George isn't around all that often, so I hope there's some there when you arrive. If you get a chance to tr<y some of Rittmayer's other beers, do. I never wrote up notes of some oak-aged bock or eisbocks I had a couple of years ago, but they were really good!Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-5150189226508997932014-08-12T13:55:35.312+02:002014-08-12T13:55:35.312+02:00Just spotted Smokey George on the menu of a pub ne...Just spotted Smokey George on the menu of a pub near where I'll be staying in Nuremberg next month and I remembered this post.

In fact, I think the closest I came to such a beer would be the Brewdog Paradox that Mr Beer Nut gave me, as it hinted towards those notes. The Smokey George is pretty extreme in the phenol stakes, and I was thinking of you and <A HREF="http://blackcatbrewery.blogspot.com/2008/08/american-dark-beer-rules.html" REL="nofollow">your comments</A> about Islay whisky. I'm not a huge fan of really heavily peaty whisky, but I found this beer pretty intriguing, not least because it said to me that there are some brewers here who are doing somehting very different to their brethren.Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-71963960038946554762008-09-20T19:54:00.000+02:002008-09-20T19:54:00.000+02:00I tried a couple of smoked beers in Copenhagen and...I tried a couple of smoked beers in Copenhagen and must admit they have grown on me somewhat. The best I tried was made with peated whisky malt which provided a more subtle flavour than some of the bacon beers brewed with wood smoked malts.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734969599278020673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943606491780538470.post-49339760021170484852008-09-19T12:23:00.000+02:002008-09-19T12:23:00.000+02:00Send me some MM Imperial and I'll let you know!The...Send me some MM Imperial and I'll let you know!<BR/><BR/>There's a Whiskey Nut in my office, and I have a feeling I'll be having to get a small crate of Smokey George for a tasting.
