Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

Brewed by Brauerei Heller
Style: Smoked
Bamberg, Bayern, Germany

dark purple amber color with a light brown head. light smoky sweet earth aroma. thin slightly watery smooth body. smoked molasses flavor with a floral oak undertone. very tasty and easy drinking

Bottle conditioned and purchased from the LCBO. A beautiful dark pour, with a deep red tinge when held up to the light. Head is off-white and effusive, slowly reducing to an ethereal level of lacing on the surface of the drink (think of those satellite pictures of clouds in the atmosphere). You can smell this drink from the other side of the room. Reminds me of when we get back from a camping trip and I’m airing out all our gear which has been next to a campfire for several nights. Clouds of smoke in the flavour, which although peculiarly meaty, has a fairly watery mouthfeel. Decent level of carbonation. Overall, a bit of a one-dimensional beer, but what a dimension! I imagine it would be perfect with sausages and by the fire on a cold night.

Dark amber beer, off-white frothy head, smoked bacon aroma. Slightly sweet flavor like heavily smoked ham laced with brown sugar. Interesting and tasty, but I was in the middle of a post-dinner session. Should have had it with food. Next time.

Oh, damn good beer sampled many times at many outside fireplaces, espicially at Møn, where we had two of them. Also sampled at many beerspeeches. An always true lover. Compared to the Refsvindinge Skibsøl this is a thirstquencher, which I might agree. I can drink it as a thirstkiller, but ½ a liter, hmmmm. Perfect for any smoked food, such as smoked fish, spegepølle (salami), firefood and after a ......marathon

Mmmn. Smoke. Amber color with the strong smell of roasted pork and campfire. Smoked bacon in the body.

Finally drove myself to drink this one. Nose of smoke and molasses, barbecue. Flavor of smoke and pork loin. Watery mouthfeel. I bought all of these smokebeers without paying attention to the label. I have since learned that this is a beer genre I can’t stand. I’m sure it’s good for the style but I am not a fan.

500 ml bottle. pours very dark red which looks brown unless held against light. has a neverending medium sized beige head. aromas are pure smoke. i cant pick out anything else and thats waiting from fridge cold to room temp. flavours are of camp fire with undertones of malt with hops rounding out the finish. this is a very well brewed beer and it truely is a drinking experience. something id definatly have to be in the mood for.

Dark brown color with some red in the color. Very little carbonation. The smoke aroma is powerful and smells very good. Flavor is smoked of course, but there is some roasting beef and bacon specifically. Full flavored and full bodied with a medium palate. The epitome of smoked beers, and I am happy I came to like these.
