The Original Schlenkerla Lentbeer is an unfiltered smokebeer, brewed in accordance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. Bottom-fermenting yeast gives the reddish brown lentbeer a natural cloudiness. Its smoky aroma is already noticeable in the smell, combined with a fine hoppy note. In the drink the fullbodied, highly drinkable lentbeer shows its strong malty flavour, rounded up with the smokey taste and a light bitterness. Due to the nourishing yeast, the Original Schlenkerla Lentbeer has the "Brotzeit already included" (German word for afternoon snack).

500 ml bottle. Pours a reddish brown with full head. Aromas of creamy smoke, chocolate malts, dark fruit and rye bread. Flavors follow same with less smoke and more bready malts. Really nicely balanced for a Rauchbier and easy to drink.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown color with a three finger eggshell white to slightly khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: deep dark roasted and smoky malts wrap around some earthiness, a touch of nuttiness and a nice bready toastiness. Sly yeastiness is in there with some light grassy hops
Flavor: takes all the prior noted aromas to blend smoky sweet and a rich roasty tone; light smoky aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied with a fine sessionability about it; very smooth along my tongue; finishes semi-crisp and somewhat smooth
Overall: an extremely awesome Rauchbier I would very much love to have again.

Edition 2017 (Opened in october 2025) 5,5% alc. Coz za zapach, wedzonego i spalonego drewna, sliwka wegierka, gruszka wedzona, jablko z ogniska. Kolor metny brazowo czerwony, fantastyczna metnosc i ta bezowa spora piana, ktora stoji niewzruszona caly czas. Smak poteznie wedzony, lekko slodowy, wedzony ser, szynka serrano lub inna regionalna, a do tego goryczka w gardle zalepiajaca i zalegajaca bardzo dlugo. Kunszt i klasa Rauchbier, nie dziwi tak wysoka ocena. Lovely Smoked Beer.

Superficial tasting at company beer tasting. 2023 edition. Amber body under a huge, foamy head. Nice smoked aroma with malt, smoked meat, caramel and some dry fruit. Taste like aroma, quite sweet and very smooth. Moderate smoke flavor compared with some other brews from Aecht Schlenkerla. Nice and food friendly.

Draft at Waterfront Manhattan. Pours a cloudy brown with medium head. That classic Schlenkerla smoky aroma. Taste is same with malts. Good.
