BOTTLE 50CL.
Look: clear dark red-brown, beige frothy head.
Aroma: very intense, smoked, smoked prunes, black olives, rich.
Taste: smoked, light sweet rich taste.
Intense brew, smokiness is nicely balanced by rich malty body, unlike in their basic Marzen.

Of all of the Schlenkerla’s, this is my favorite, closest to the "bacon" experience. Smoked malts rule in this beer, dark and nutty, lots of the cured meat, smoky taste of hickory bacon. An acquired taste for sure, but a must try.

500ml bottle from Berlin Bier Shop. Probably the smokiest Schlenkerla with the biggest flavours, but even so it’s blended so well with such a smooth mouthfeel that it’s so easily drinkable. Smoky bacon dominates with a meaty juiciness, moderate bitterness and some ash and charcoal wafting about. Tastes like a meal in a glass. Great stuff!

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark red amber colour. Moderate malty and hoppy smoked aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Some bacon notes. Average moderate bitter finish. OK balanced smoked. Oily palate.

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock, Flasche von Grabsch, Berlin-Lichterfelde. - Tiefstes Kastanienbraun. - Nase von geräuchertem Schinken. - Die schwere Süße von dunklem Malz ist harmonisch verbunden mit kompromißlosem Raucharoma und erdig-holzigem Hopfen, der tatsächlich Aroma spendet, nicht nur Bittere. Mild rezent. Wuchtiger hopfenaromatisch-bitterer Abgang. - Malzsüße, Rauch und Hopfen in vollendeter Harmonie - ein großartiges Rauchbier. - Mein Exemplar, kurz vor Erreichen des MHD (April 2014) getrunken, hatte schon eine ganz zarte stechende Säure, Anzeichen des beginnenden „Umkippens“ und eine Erinnerung, daß auch Bockbiere nicht zur Lagerung bestimmt sind. Ein Winterbock ist eben kein Maibock ... (6.4.2014: 4,1.) Wiederholung vom Faß im Schlenkerla, Bamberg. - Vom Faß noch besser, unglaublich tief, weich (fast ohne Kohlensäure) und rund. Phantastisch!

Bottle shared with Dutchdrebus, Joes and Martinus @ weekly tasting. Dark brown color with a deep dark red glare coming through when held into the light, average sized tan head. Aroma is malts and heavily smoked. Taste malts, smoke, some bitterness. Average to medium body and carbonation. Quite nice imo, and I usually don’t like smoked beers at all.
