Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

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

50cl bottle. Dark reddish brown beer with very strong smoky aroma. Smoke dominates the sweet taste aswell but this is also salty. Quite nice body I’d say. A very good smoke beer and makes me want to taste the weizen even more.

Bottle thanks to richlikebeer. Pours black with a little head. Has the smell of beef jerky. Also reminds me of my spit cup when I chewed mint skoal. Taste just like a beef jerk as well.

Great head on this smoky monster. Aromas are the typical smoked ham deliciousness. LIQUID MEAT? Who could argue with that?

Maybe I’m not ready for this kind of beer. It pours reddish brown with a small disappearing head. The aroma is chocolate, wood, smoke, spice, and salt. Yes, like beef jerky. The flavor is thin and kind of sweet up front like brown sugar. It then fades to a smoky, meaty, barbeque/jerky flavor that finishes bitter. This may have its place, but I don’t see myself wanting to revisit it anytime soon.

Deep brown reddish with a small beige head that leaves minimal lazing. Aroma is straight forward "meat smoke" with a light undertone of malt and minerals. Flavour is much more malty and delivers a rather solid bock underneath a lovely layer of smoked meat and wood. Mouthfeel is very smooth and rather full, it manages to be both heavy and very drinkable at the same time which is.. Odd and fun.

Bottle. Poured dark red brown with thick foamy head. Strong aroma of smoked malt, smoke and caramel. Full malty flavour with some aged cheese notes. Smoky finish with a little malt edge.

50cl bottle @ Zly Cazy, Prague. Pours dark brown with a small creamy white head and lacings. Lots of meat, bacon and camp fire. Chewy caramel and very full bodied. Quite heavy in all aspects. Still growing on me!

Pours fairly clear dark brown with a light beige head. Aroma has a heavy smoked meat aspect with a subtle saltiness. The flavor is reminiscent of a smoked cured meat with a sweet component.
