Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

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

Keg (Kaisla, Helsinki)
Same smoky aroma shared with the other Schlenkerla rauchbiers but much more full flavoured. Vastly flavoured - so much bock that the smoky, almost tarry, taste does not overpower the tongue. This isn’t just bacon - you can tell it’s been fried in butter - so it must be good for you!

Draught from Partyfass. Lovely smoky aroma, salty salami smokiness. Clear, very dark brown colour. Creamy, quite stable, light brown head. Quite sweet flavour with some salami. Low carbonation and a very nice creamy mouthfeel. Yummy.

Brown/black with a creamy head The aroma has lots of smoke just like the Märzen from Heller. The mouthfeel is smooth and a bit oily. The flavour has a lot of smoke, eel skin, light sweetness and caramel. Ok with smoked foods, but I doubt I ever will become a hardcore smoked beer fan, but I think I prefer the Märzen. 1924

Bottle shared with yespr. Deep red-brown colour with a very nice light brown head. Aroma of smoke indeed (oak) with some sweetness. Flavour of smoke with a nice sweetness and bitterness in the finish. Sehr kraftiches und gutes Bier am besten!

66 cL bottle (shared with faroeviking). Dark with ligth brown head. Sweetness and smoke in a nice blend. Soft and well balanced, it doesn’t feel like a bock. Slight bitter sweet finish.

Bottle. This beer pours with a dark greyish brown color, an off white head, and a strong aroma of smoked ham. The flavor is meaty, thick with a strong bitterness and levels out to a slight sweet smokiness but retains the bitternes through the finish. A sharp initial bite on the palate evens to a smooth creaminess. Pretty good.

Draught @ Battersea Beer Festival. Smoky aroma with lagery malt component. Fairly sweet but with balancing phenolic hops and a nice dose of earthy hops. Really tasty and drinkable given the strength.

16.9 oz. bottle. The amazing and powerful aroma features smoked ham, fresh pretzels with honey mustard, and lemony hops. It is unusual and welcome but perhaps a tad much. The beer pours a deep, clear copper-brown with a large amount of thick, uneven cream-colored head and extensive lacing. It looks even better than it smells. All of the smoky elements of the aroma are prominent in the flavor. In addition, the flavor features a very nice sweet roasted malt taste. This would be a very tasty beer even without the smoke, but with the smoke it is a uniquely delicious treat. ASRU is medium in body and a little undercarbonated. Not surprisingly, it produces a smoky and malty aftertaste. This is one of the most exceptional, flavorful, impressive, and memorable beers that I have ever had the pleasure of tasting.
