  • I’ve only tried proper smoked beer once - it was definitely one of those your glad you’ve tried but aren’t necessarily in a hurry to try again. Am I right in thinking that’s more or less how beer would have tasted hundreds of years ago when smoking was the only way to dry stuff out in wet climates?

    I couldn't tell you the answer but I've had plenty of other smoked beers (especially porters) which I really like but there's a certain meaty/cheese quality to the smoked German beers which I can't get on with.

  • I had a smoked beer that had that cheese/ham taste in Leeds many years ago (North Bar I think). I drank two thirds of it, left the rest. Left the bar and felt I'll for about half an hour before throwing it all up. Worst beer choice ever!
