Tally's Take

Why this matters

Rauchbier tastes like a campfire and it is supposed to. Bamberg kept smoking its malt for six centuries while the rest of the world decided it was a flaw.

Malt dried over open beechwood fires, exactly as all malt was before industrial kilning. It tastes like smoked meat, and it is not a novelty — it is what beer used to taste like everywhere.
