UPDATED: MAR 22, 2024 Pint can pours with a deep copper mahogany colored body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting levels of nutty smoky goodness followed closely by smooth smelling malts leading to additional smooth smokiness. The taste delivers thick smoky goodness that pulls up smooth sweet malts that become edged with faint dark fruity esters and some pleasing chocolate notes. Toward the finish it just swirls around with additional upwellings of smooth pork nuanced smoke and sweet malts to chocolate malts. This comes across with pleasing savory lasting smoky goodness.

UPDATED: JAN 28, 2024 Bottle at Jan 2024 Steins Bottle Share. Black high clarity, very smokey, light easy to drink. Fantastic. 4.3

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2023 Vinatge 2022: Reddish-brown color and a nice tan head. Smokey nose, malty and faint dried fruits. Taste is less smokey than expected. Nive balance of malty body and decent smokyness o er dried fruits and a good sweetness

UPDATED: OCT 18, 2023 Last dive @Grand Delancy. Very dark brown on copper brew, lathery cookie dough head. Smokey charcoal pizza crust & burnt paper nose. Somewhat acidic, savory, mildly smokey sausage grease & charred fruit. Gentle astringency. Nicely lathery & slick. Somewhat sweet, trying to get dry. Great.

UPDATED: SEP 5, 2023 Trübe bräunliche Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Malziger, rauchiger, an Schinken und Speck erinnernder Geruch. Geschmacklich malzig mit rauchigen Noten nach Schinken und Speck, die deutlich, aber nicht überladen sind. Daneben noch etwas Karamell wahrnehmbar. Hohe Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2023 zapach wędzony, bogaty, sporo słodów, spieczony chleb, biszkopty, jasny karmel, trochę ziół, dym bogaty, pełny, drewno liściaste, stare zagaszone ognisko. kolor bursztynowy, klarowny, piana biała, lekko złamana, średnio obfita, średnio trwała. w smaku pełne, słody, wyraźny, dobrej jakości dym, karmel, spieczona drożdżówka, lekkie nuty przyjemnego alkoholu. goryczka umiarkowana do niskiej, wędzona, ziołowa, lekko subtelna, z niewielkimi nutami alkoholu, krótka. w ustach pełne, treściwe, ale pijalne. nasycenie umiarkowane do wysokiego.

UPDATED: JUL 15, 2023 Alko 5.9. Barwa ciemny rubin, nawet klarowne, jasnokremowa piana. Zapach ogniska. W smaku kwiatowa goryczka mocno skontrowana nutami palonymi, wysycone lekko powyżej średniego, dość sporo pełni w tle. Chyba najlepsza Schlenkerla jakiej do tej pory próbowałem.

UPDATED: JUN 6, 2023 Beige foamy top. Smokey aroma of malts and sausage. Taste of caramel, rye, brown sugar, wood, smoked sausage, bacon. Rich and sweet smoke notes, not heavy at all. Smooth body with moderate carbonation. This beer is top of the food chain of smoked beers! Great job

UPDATED: MAY 18, 2023 Pour is a dark brown with a large white head. Aroma is smoky with plenty of bacon and ham. Flavor is pretty much all smoky bacon and ham. While this is a well done beer it is kind of a one trick pony with the smoke. I admire the effort but this is not really for me.

UPDATED: APR 9, 2023 Aroma of malt, smoke, wood, hay, leather and hints of bread and caramel. Deep amber with a off-white head. Medium + sweet and medium bitter. Medium body with average carbonation. Overall a nice and interesting Rauchbier.
