German smoked beer. Made with smoked malts. From Bamberg in That Germany.

"Bamberg" is what Thornbridge called their take on it, with a smoked bock, which is my new bag. See last weekends beer conversation.

I've got a variety of Kernel bottles in the cellar, actually. They keep on turning out incredible IPAs and pale ales. The bottles need a bit of cellaring, I find, because whatever yeast they use for bottle conditioning isn't very flocculant, so if you're not careful you end up with a quite yeasty pint. Quite homebrewey. I'm sure the cask/keg stuff they make is well handled enough for that not to be a problem.
