Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

BACON IN A BOTTLE! at first there’s just an overpowering smoke taste. after the first sip though, the beer comes through. bitterness and sweetness (malt & hops) flavor are blended with the smokiness. nice change. great w/ bbq, meats, dogs,etc. i must admit, i don’t think i could drink 2 in a row- just too much smoke. even towards the end of the bottle, it felt like enough. i’ll grade this brew based on the 1st half of the glass, the second half the flavor changes from 7 to 6, and mouthfeel goes down a little (getused to the smoke)."

Bizzare. I’ve never tasted a beer like this before. Tasted of smoked meats (probably to be expected but my pallate was still surprised). I liked it.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of toasted dark bread, light hops of herbs and smoked gouda for the yeast with smoke and charcoal in the background. Small fizzy head that’s off white, mostly diminishing with good lacing. Color is a clear dark brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic and finishes lightly bitter. Plalate is light to medium, between dry and watery with lively carbonation (very fine bubbles) and a dry finish. Good beer, high points for the unique aroma.

Beautiful appearance - deep ruby-black body with a lovely little creamy off-white head and some lace. Aroma of - I kid you not - smoked salmon. Definitely not just smoked or wood notes, but a sweet meat-like aroma with the smokiness. Some molasses in the nose as well. Watery dark-malt taste followed by a rich smoke & ash aftertaste with that sweetness that makes me think of salmon or sweet meat. Thin ferric hops - metallic and not pleasant. This tastes like something one could easily become sick from. Very smooth and creamy body with decent carbonation. An interesting novelty-beer, but compared with the smoked beers I’ve thus far enjoyed, I can’t say I care for this all that much.

Bottle. Nose is sweet smokey wood. Dark deep red with a thin white head. Smooth with very balanced subtle smoke notes. Thin bodied. Not much complexity but mostly enjoyable.

Smoke flavour is much more present on the nose than in the mouth. Sweet, malty and smoky, this is extremely chewable.

bottle. Dark colour, smoky nose. Malty, slightly hoppy and very smoky. Very pleasant smokiness is present as well as a touch of roasted malt. Lovelly.

bottle at home ... brown coloured ... odd smokeyness mixed with Dashi (japanesse fish stock) ... malt fruits Basic malt beer with the meaty smokeyness coming in back and linger. cant quite get what flavour is. Much more drinkable that id expect but no desire to retry.
