From the brewer

It's not dead, but Gratzer is definitely a long-buried style from Poland. And together with 3Floyds we have unearthed the best of beer zombies. Full of bold flavors from oak-smoked wheat, and along with Midnight Wheat, this beer presents a pure black pour. A subtle, spicy note from the Polish Lublin hops hides in the aroma, just below the dark and smoky surface. Despite all appearances, the Gratzer is very drinkable at 4.5% ABV, and walks itself with a nice, light body. Cheers to drinking smoky, undead beers. Prost!

Who's been drinking this

Science has finally figured out how to swirl water in an ashtray and make beer. This picture is terrible, but I really needed to show you what it looked like, you guys. Thick smoke on the nose, tastes like sour ashes & bitterness.
