Short Schwarz – Smoked Schwarzbier

Brewed with our friends at Wooden Robot in Charlotte. They drove down with some Epiphany Maple Smoked malt from Durham and we turned it into a dark lager. We did our usual step mash program for Euro styles and included a decoction to show off, but also to add some improved head retention to the beer. Naturally carbonated, expect some smoky and roasty notes married together with a rustic edge from 8 weeks in tanks.
