Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

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

Smoked, burnt and malty sweet aroma. Hints of chocolate. Bread and campfire smoke. Grainy. Meaty - sausages. Copper coloured. Average head. Malty full palate with roasty dry and smoky finish that lasts.

(Re-rate) Mostly chocolate with half a bag of Frazzles tipped in it. A bit smoky. Soft and creamy m/f. Delicious. (original rate- 3.6) Bottled, Piper’s End Beer Festival. Startlingly smoky, Viking Jorvik Centre nose, according to some of my samplers. This is really wrinkling a few nostrils. An ancient, waxy, bootpolishy, but above all, beechwoody smokiness. A definite hint of museum. Considering the nose, pours with a surprisingly clear red transparency. Still, flattish mouthfeel. Smoky but creamy, like Austian smoked cheese. Can’t help but think of smoked hams and Bratwurst. Massively evocative nose. The smokiness in the flavour is only marginally more assertive than in Black Cat or Cain’s Dark Mild. Got to try this with food next time. Completely unique, and wonderfully offensive to outsiders.

Found at Wine Sampler. Pours a brownish black with a small head. A friend called this "liquid ham" and for the first half, it really was. Other aromas and flavors such as smoke and maltiness arise in the second half. Aroma and taste of unsalted pork. Balanced creamy mouthfeel. Lingering meaty alcohol finish. Interesting 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.

0.5L bottle, small stable off white head, clear deep brown colour which looks like it is a little opque. aroma of smoked dried meat (bilantong?) and charred wood with hints of vanila and vinous aroma. Flavours of bacon and caramel with charred wood like bitterness, lingering smokey and fruity aftertaste. Intrguing beer.

Pours a dark brown with a nice light tan head that leaves some good lacing. Aroma of charred breakfast meats and smoldering campfire, with some molasses and coffee in there too. Reminds me of getting the campfire started in the morning while thebacon is sizzling on the campstove. Flavor is similar, but not too smoky to overpower the other aspects. The best smoked brew I’ve tried yet. Wonderful and complex.

Bottled @ Asterix, Sao Paulo. A brown beer with a huge and creamy beige head. Aroma smoked and bacon. Taste is also smoked, malty and woody. Quite bitter end. Very nice beer

This is a very dark orange-red-brown beer with a complex aroma. It is wood and smoke. Reminds me of a pirate ship. It has a smooth medium body with a clean finish. The flavor is smokey and resiny-- a solid taste that lingers lightly. A great smoke beer!
