- Note: Of the album, Warrior stated: "This album is, most importantly, testament to the unique connection that exists between the audience and this band. Hellhammer’s music was an underground token in 1982 to 1984, often ridiculed and shunned, and we owe the fact that we are now able to perform it all across the globe entirely to grace, openness, and enthusiasm of those who make exactly these concerts possible. They give us as much as we given them, and my gratitude to them knows no limits."

- Brew: Rauchbier Helles
- Style: Bamberg Style Smoked Light Lager / Helles
- Serving: 16 ounce can
- ABV: 5.0%
- Ingredients: "Pilsner malt [with] the yeast used to ferment it would be pulled from a smoked bier that used nothing but smoked malt."
- Pour: The Rauchbier Helles pours a clear, pale, straw yellow hue with a frothy, bright white, half-finger head with good retention and sudsy lacing.
- Nose: The nose is grassy, floral, grainy, and slightly smoky. There are aromas of summer grass, wildflowers, freshly cut hay, lemongrass, herbs, crackery biscuit, charred wood, and soft caramel.
- Taste: The taste is like the nose: crackery, grainy, grassy, and slightly hoppy. There are notes of floral hops, lemon zest, lemongrass, crackery biscuit, light liquid smoke, and very light caramel.
- Mouthfeel: Light-bodied with good carbonation, the mouthfeel of the Rauchbier Helles is very crisp, smoky, and dry, yet smooth with a clean, slightly bitter finish.
Overall pairing: The Offset Rauchbier Helles is a very good offering of the style... great to pair with the intensity and heavy metal punch that is Triumph Of Death! Those smoky notes go great with the darker lyrics and aggressive vibe, while the crushable maltiness is great for the overall metal attack! I also thought the can label makes a nice aesthetic companion to the wonderful album cover art by Daniele Valeriani!
Cheers and hails!!
