Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

Bottle. Dark ruby with a bubbly thick off-white head. Nose is full of bacon, smoky bacon, malty smokiness, slightly sweet nose. Mouth is smoky, more of that bacon, some wheat snacks, something like bacon fries, oaky malt sweetness that lasts. Palate is sweet and inoffensive, a little heavy by the end of the bottle, but flowing. Quite delicious, if a little on the overpowering side.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a moderate off-white head. Smells like smoke, rather like smoked bacon, with maybe a hint of malts. Flavor is of course also permeated by smoke, but oddly a bit refreshing, with some malt and bits of hops, and a fairly light body. I like this a bit more than the Urbock, since the smoke is balanced a bit more, though still undoubtedly assertive.

bottle at lcbo, dark brown, good sized head big bacon smoke nose, more meaty in the flavour really intresting smoked malts, great beer with bbq and to cook with

500ml bottle. Pours a nice dark redish brown, almost identical to a dark ale. Medium head that clears up fairly quickly but leaves a centimeter or so of froth at the top of the glass, looks fairly heavily carbonated. Smells of smoked malts (obviously), and I’m actually reminded a little of sausages or ham around a campfire, very pleasant! Tastes strongly of the smoked malts, but there’s also some good hops in there too that gives it a good bitter finish. After taste is a blend of everything, hops, malts, and most noticeably the smokey aspects. Pretty enjoyable over-all, definitely worth paying for.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown colour with a nice light brown foamy head. Aroma of smoked indeed, reminds me of a well smoked ham. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour has a lot of smoke and some maltiness. Grüss Gott this is a great brew!

Rich brown color with thin head. Taste and smell reminded me of smoked gouda cheese and smoked meat. Taste is similar--very roasty but not at all like a dark stout. I’ve never had a beer remotely like this before. One complaint is the body is a little thin, but definitely a unique beer.

Oh lord, huge head, smells like smoked salmon vs sausage , I cant even bring myself to describe the taste........ first taste: Like drinking a stein of charcoal with a burned tyre on top. Second taste; actually pleasant,smokey but not offensive, like a good salami, interesting, very interesting. Third taste; a nice beer.

Oak-barrel at Københavnske Øldage 2007. Low to no carbonation. Dark brown - offwhite head. Smoke, smoked sausage, bread, dark dread, wood, sweetness, smooth. Fantastic.
