Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

Bottle from sam’s. Pours a glowing amber with thin white lace. Nose is smoke, bacon, malt, and pleasant. Flavor is well balanced between excessive smoke and layered malts. This was much more of an easy drinker than I expected, yet it was still utterly complex. A gem of smoked beers.

La prims smoked che ho bevuto, ideale per accompagnare un buon tagliere di affettati

The bubbly white head is gone a little quickly, but there’s no replacement for that beautiful mahogany color, ruby shimmering under the sepia. The nose is smoke deluxe, like a meat spread from salty bacon to spicy sausage. The flavor is smoky meat as well, but it’s more nuanced with roast malt accents and touches of long-lasting wood. Palate is very delicate and cloudy, a near match for the other components. Wonderful stuff. Now I’ll have to go back and try the Urbock again.

500ml Bottle: Nice smoke aroma that smells of a smoke-house, candle-smoke, smoked cheese, ski lodge, and a hint of burning logs. Poured dark amber/medium brown in color with a large, dense, rocky, tan head that shrank but lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor of smoke, smoke-house, candle-smoke, smoked cheese, ski lodge, and a hint of burning logs. Medium body. Smooth, creamy texture. Soft carbonation. Smoke smoke smoke finish. Even though I am not a big smoked beer fan, the smokiness and the complexity of the flavor in this beer really impressed me.

Bottle 50 cl. Dark brown colour, large bubbly head. Lots of smoke in aroma and taste. Low on carbonation. Easy drinkable.

Brown pour with a dark red tint. Clear with light tan head. Very smoky, woody aroma with malt. Bitter malt flavor with tons of smoke. At first it reminds you of some good barbecue but after drinking half a glass I felt like I had just smoked half a pack of cigarettes. Maybe this just isn’t my style.

(bottle) clear, dark ruby-brown colour, wonderful head. aroma is an assortment of heavily smoked dark meats over a herbal hoppy background. the beer is smooth with mild carbonation. a solid malt base and the herbal hop bitterness promote the dominant flavours: smoked meat, grilled sausage and a faint woodiness. a wonderfully smooth, well-balanced beer!

(From bottle at home on August 24, 2008 with weeAnaP with prune stuffed pork) Light, creamy white head atop a dark mohogany semi-clear smoky delicasy. No carbonation. Aroma is of super smoky barbecue. Can’t tell the real difference between this and the urbock. Flavor is PERFECT with prune-stuffed pork loin! WeeAnaP loved it!!! She said, "yummy!" Yep... smoky goodness and uber-yummy!
