Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen

Pours reddish amber color with a big off white head that slowly dissipates. Aroma is classic Schlenkerla (campfire), tons of maple bacon, salt and malt. Flavor is smokey, but the base wheat beer is there too

Bottle. Pours unclear amber orange with a nice off white head. Aroma is just stunning. Burlap sack, smoke, and tar, and fell as fruity notes that hinted at banana. Medium body, a bit of carbonation. Flavor has a beautiful balance of smoke and sweet. Again, burlap, rope, banana, and smoky tar. Quite incredible. I actually liked this better than the Urbock and the Marzen. It might not be as complex but it’s better balanced and extremely easy drinking and enjoyable.

50 cl tap at Brauerei Heller in Bamberg. Pours amber, thick creamz beige head. Aroma si smokey, taste is very smooth, mix of weizen and smokey. Notes of honey. Another excellent brew that asks some getting used to it, but one that can become very enjoyable.

Pours a cloudy dark amber/orange with a one finger creamy light orange head. The nose is very smoky, meaty, a tad sweet, some light grassy hops. The flavor is very smoky and meaty, some wheat character, a bit earthy, woody. Nice crisp mouthfeel and a woody finish.

The color was cloudy amber/brown. The head was thin, creamy, and off-white. The aroma was turkey bacon, smoke, and a burnt malty element. The flavor was salty, smoked samon, bacon, and scorched wood. The palate was medium-bodied. The finish was smoke.
