Allgemeines zum Urbock: Der Herbst ist Starkbierzeit in Bamberg und im Schlenkerla. Nach alter Tradition wird dazu bereits im Sommer der Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier - Urbock eingebraut. Nach dem Sud in alten Kupferkesseln reift er monatelang in den historischen Stollen unter dem Stefansberg. Durch den höheren Malzgehalt und die längere Reifung ist der Urbock noch vollmundiger als das klassische Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier und somit ein ganz besonderer Genuß für die kühlere Jahreszeit.

Bottle. 2018 vintage, Clear deep chestnut against brigth light, else close to black. Dense, finger-thick beige head. Lacing. Intense aroma, nicely oxidized, meaty, smoked. Light alcohol, dark dried fruit and roasted malts. Full body and nice warmth, pleasant carbonation. There's a good bitterness in the flavor, some piney hints too, along with the elements known from the aroma. Lasting finish. Delicious indeed. 250220

Slightly oxidized, leathery and earthy with hints of ham and smokiness. Feels lighter and less balanced than a fresh bottle.

2016 bottle drunk 9/26/24. Clear, deep auburn. Impressively large, impressively well-retained, singed-beige head. Little/no oxidation. I mean, a hint, but for an 8 year old, 6.5% lager, basically none. Rich smoke, not as bacony as I remember, but...bacony. Mineral, hints of metal, brown sugar and caramel with rich, deep, intense base malts. Immaculately clean, of course, after 8 years. Trying to be objective with this beer, though it's difficult. It was a long time ago that I had the regular Urbock and while this is no 4.5 that I gave that, there's still a lot to love here. Rich, sumptuous, decadent malts, balanced, yet intense smoke and a reasonable acidity to balance it, alongside pretty good attenuation. I think 8 years is pushing it here and would love to see this closer to about 4. But the fact that it's still in spectacular shape after 8 years speaks volumes and it's hard not to gush and fall in love with it again.

Deep brown reddish. Aroma is rich caramel soy sauce ham almond light figs. Taste is super smooth sweet caramel with rich umami and laid back bitter roast. Very well combined and super rich without being overly heavy nor boozy. Long smooth finish. Excellent.
