Chocolate-covered bacon is actually pretty awesome. I understand the reluctance, but just try it. Trust me.

i don't think of rausch beer as bacon beer. it's smokey (and delicious), but far off from bacon in my book. unlike some scotches which are SO smokey
the are almost like drinking bacon!
the bacon infused vodka might be good for bloody marys.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Yeah I love me some smoked beer. New Holland has a killer smoked rye called Charkoota. The German place by me gets all kinds of rate smoked stuff
around lent.

I don't know if it ever happened, but I found this short article about plans for a real bacon beer: http://gothamist.com/2009/08/12/bacon_beer_will_rule_them_al...
From the linked NYTimes article:
| Quote: |
It turns out that as well equipped as Mr. Oliver’s brewery is, it doesn’t have an actual stove, something he needed to cook up a batch of malt mash.
It’s a special malt that was smoked in the same room with some of the bacon made by the legendary Allan Benton. “It’s almost terrifying how much the
malt smells like bacon,” Mr. Oliver said.
He plans to brew about 15 gallons of barleywine with that malt. In the meantime, he’s been infusing a brown ale with the flavor of Benton’s bacon fat
through a technique known as “fat washing.” (Nick Fauchald described the process in this profile of the bartender Eben Freeman.) Oh, and the
bacon-fat-infused ale was also aged in bourbon barrels, because bourbon and bacon go together like, um, beer and bacon.
Eventually, the barleywine with the bacon-smoked malt and the bourbon-aged, bacon-fat-infused ale would be blended to create one monstrously bizarre
beer.
“One of two things will happen,” Mr. Oliver predicted. “Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. Or I
shall rule the earth.”

I'm guessing most "bacon beer" is just a rauchbier smoked similarly to bacon (eg. maple).
For the bacon-infused vodka bloody mary, I swear I saw that on an episode of Drinking Made Easy, a show that a lot of you would dig.

Don't think I would drink it all the time but I thought it was pretty good.
