Drink-a-Pint

Seattle’s Baron Brewing Company is releasing two new 22 oz bottles from the Baron Brewing beer lineup and another in their Brothers Grimm Series.

Baron Rauchbier
The Baron Rauchbier is a German style smoked beer that is most commonly found in Bamberg. 90% of the malt is smoked with Beechwood. A pleasant, mellow sweetness from the malt counter-balances the campfire smokiness. Aroma emits a blast of smoke headed off by malt and a subtle hop finish. All ingredients for the beer are imported from Germany and it’s brewed in accordance to the German Beer Purity Law  A very unique beer that is an example of an old style. (ABV: 5% / IBU: 26)

Baron Uber-weisse
The Baron Über-Weisse is a Bavarian style Weizenstarkbier (wheat doppelbock). It has a dark, rich hue with a full, creamy head. Aroma of banana and chocolate notes. Velvety in texture with flavors of roast, chocolate, banana and sweet malt. Finishes mildly tart from the wheat, while ending dry and clean. Brewed with over 60% wheat and aged for roughly four months to ensure its smooth, complex taste. This one weights in at 8.25% alcohol, so enjoy! (ABV 8.25% / IBU 25)

Rumpelstiltskin Rauchdoppelbock
And, last but not least, it’s another entry in the Brothers Grimm Series. The Rumpelstiltskin rauchdoppelbock has a blast of smoked malt that is rounded by a sweet dark body.  It has a deep-amber to black brown color with a thick tan head. There is a rich and complex smokey maltiness in the aroma that shows subtleties of toffee and caramel. A touch of roast mixed with the beechwood smokiness in the forefront soon gives way to a dense, sweet, malt body finished by a clean hop ending. It’ll be available beginning mid-July.
