Yeah, I've had a couple of bottles. It's too peaty for my taste--peated malt is a bit tricky to use, at least as I learned in homebrewing. Still, kudos to Rittmayer for trying new things! They've also brewed at least one batch of leichtes Bier (maybe ~3% abv?) which I've tried in Bügelflaschen (swing-top bottles), and found it quite good, if simply under-hopped. Their other Rauchbier ain't bad. It's been quite a while, I really need to revisit their various bottles...
