In line with the great Rauch (smoked) beers of Bamberg, Germany, our brewers bring you a rich and delightful smoked ale. This beer is brown in color and features Weyerman's smoked malt and is aged on smoked applewood chips. This offers an intricate smoked flavor balanced by a medium sweetness. Born in Prussia, Brigadier General Alexander Shimmelfenning was in command of the Union's XI Corps on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg. During their retreat to Cemetery Hill, he was "struck down by the blow of a gun" and had to seek shelter in a pigsty for two days. To him and his unfortunate experience, we dedicate this bold smoked ale!
