Don't be stingy with the rauch.


+1. I would use your favorite Imp Stout recipe and substitute Rauch malt for the base malt

Smokey (Beechwood), yes. Baconey (Hickory), no. I dig the Schlenkerla.

I know hickory is the "bacony" wood but i think most people taste bacon when they have the schlenkerla, which is beechwood only. I know most of my family did when i brought a few to a party.
