Apex Predator’s 6th Anniversary offering is our take on the classic smoked beers of Bamberg, dialed up to Doppelbock levels of goodness. A substantial proportion of the grain utilized was traditional Beechwood smoked malt, which delivers a nose of smoked bacon and rich caramel. Carlstadt then gives way to a palate full of gentle smokiness, fresh toasted bread, nougat and dark fruits, with a refreshing and balanced finish. Prost!

SRM = Standard Reference Method. This is a measurement method to calculate the colour of beer where 2 SRM is super pale yellow and 40+ SRM is pitch black.
IBU = International Bittering Units. Another measurement, used to determine the level of bitterness in the beer. Something like a standard light American lager has about 8-10 IBUs, and a super hoppy double IPA can have 90+ IBU.
