Bambergs Spezialität als helle Sonderedition
Gebraut mit einem helleren Schlenkerla Rauchmalz, das wie beim klassischen Märzen über offenem Buchenholz geräuchert wird. So erhält das Bier eine leuchtende Bernsteinfärbung und das typische Aroma der Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbiere, das Liebhaber in aller Welt so schätzen. Im Geschmack ist es etwas sanfter als das klassische Märzen, mit trotzdem sehr deutlich ausgeprägtem Raucharoma.

Bouteille 50cl de et partagée avec Tderoeck, merci!
BB 02/2026.
Couleur acajou, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé bien tenace.
Arôme est toujours autant plaisant, fumé, cara pâle, biscuité, petite note chocolaté avec un houblonné qui procure de fins effluves d'agrumes et floral.
Palais garde ce caractère fumé - bacon au fumoir, jambon braisé, le tout avec une belle base de malts - caramel, biscuité, léger toasté le tout avec un houblonné délicat qui apporte une belle balance d'amertume - tirant à la fois sur le floral, et léger fruité noble avec un effet presque herbes aromatiques. Je note aussi un impact fruité noir des malts

Bottle: Poured a clear amber color marzen with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and a good amount of lacing. Aroma of smoked malt with some caramel malt notes. Taste is a mix between oily caramel malt notes with faint residual sugar notes and strong smoked notes typical of the brewery. Body is average for style with good carbonation. Super easy drinking smoked beer with great flavours.

Herb-rauchiger Beginn. Milde Süße, die aber genau so dosiert ist, dass sie die Rauchigkeit unterstützt. Weicher, mild getreidiger Hintergrund, konstante Rauchigkeit, trocken, brotig. Vollmundig, langer Nachhall. 10/13/12/10/13/12

Bottle at Pigs Ear 2025. Hazy copper red beer lasting off white head. Smoke aroma but not heavy smoke. Its delicious. Like the helles but fuller in mouth. Fuller in flavour. More smoke but not full on marzen. So drinkable. My new favourite Schlenkerla.

Nalane do szklaneczki zamowionej przez wujka z Essen w browarze Heller Brau wraz z 10 piwami Marzen. Paczka przeslana pod same drzwi pare ladnych lat temu. Ogromne dzieki i pozdrawiam. Typowy aromat klasyczny i nie zmienny od lat. Wedzonka, dym, torf itp. ciemno herbaciana barwa ze spora piana i trwala. Smaczne, nie za slodowe, chmielnosc wyczuwalna. Edycja specjalna, specjalnie to ja kazde piwa schlenkerli lubie jak i caly stary Bamberg.

Amber body, with a big, beige head.
Aroma of smoked wood, bread, toffee, subtle fruits. Tastes similar, with more dry smoke, bacon.
Medium mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes smokey, wooden, dry, slightly sweet, bready.
Beatiful! Quite dark for a "Helles Märzen", but aroma-wise it makes sense, pretty dry, with a lighter body. Distinct and intense smoke notes, but still perfectly balanced. Another amazing Schlenkerla I could drink all day!

500mL bottle, pours a hazy dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma has moderate smokiness, toasted bready malt, and a hint of dry caramel. Flavour has intensely dry smoke, light peated character, ashiness, and bready malt. Super dry, drier than the regular Marzen or Helles, with intense dry ashy smokiness. Excellent.

0,5l bottle at home . Brown color, small white head. smells spices, sausage, earthy, tobacco. Very nice smell. Medium body, soft carbonation. tastes leathery, peppery, smoked, probably, gselchtes, smoked meats. finishes lightly dry with notes of smoked and smoked meats. Rather smoked, not sweet like the usual Märzen, good I prefer my smoked beers a bit more on the sweet side though.
