About this beer
This is the 3rd of 4 labels we have from Burlington Beer Company. It is one of 6 smoked beer labels approved in September 2026. Its label was approved 7 days after it was submitted.
From the label“Ghost Stories takes inspiration from Central European dark lagers and adds traditional smoked malt. Brewed with a blend of dark and smoked malts, this Black Lager layers rich malt character with the unmistakable aroma of woodsmoke while maintaining the clean, crisp finish of a traditional lager. Pours nearly black with deep mahogany hues and a tan head. Flavors and aromas of Dark Chocolate, Toasted Bread, Campfire Smoke, Roasted Nuts, and a touch of Spice give way to a subtle charred edge. The smoke lingers just long enough before a clean lager fermentation and restrained bitterness bring everything back into balance.”
