Rotbiere waren früher in Franken häufiger anzutreffen. Vor allem die Stadt Nürnberg war bekannt für ihr Rotbier. Da seine Herstellung extrem aufwändig war, wurde das Rotbier im 19. Jahrhundert durch das mit modernen, einfacheren Brauverfahren hergestellten Braunbier verdrängt und verschwand. Erst 1997 wurde der Bierstil wiederbelebt.
Für unser Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel Rotbier trocknen wir das Malz über einem Feuer mit hochwertigem Kirschholz und nicht wie beim klassischen Rauchbier über Buchenholzfeuer. Im Gegensatz zum würzigen Buchenrauchmalz hat das Kirschrauchmalz ein fruchtiges, fast süßliches Raucharoma und sorgt für eine kupferrote Farbe im Glas. Feinster Aromahopfen ergänzt den vielschichtigen Rauchgeschmack um eine beerige Note. Mit 4,6% Alkohol ist Aecht Schlenkerla Weichsel ein vollmundiges, angenehm süffiges Bier.

Barwa bursztynowo-czerwona, klarowne, piana w kolorze złamanej bieli, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.
W aromacie wędzonka, dym z ogniska, lekki karmel.
W smaku słodowe, karmelowe, sporo nut dymnych, wędzonych, lekkie owoce. Kontra chmielowa niewielka.
Goryczka niska, wysycenie w normie, ciało też.
Brakuje nieco pazura, ale i tak świetne piwo.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear copper colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is smoky. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry, somewhat rich, smoky palate. A simple but well made beer.

Fruity, smooth, slightly sweet, and, of course, smoky, but again, superbly balanced.

Pint can pours with a clear dark ruby red to mahogany colored body that supports a light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting smooth bacon and smoked port butt like smokiness as well as some chocolate malts and a bit of crystal like malts in the background. The taste delivers modest smokiness bound tightly to sweet crystal malts and thin plum like sweet fruity esters. Toward the finish it picks up a hint of mineral notes as well as echoes of chocolate malts. I dig a rauch bier but would prefer even greater smoky goodness. Solid stuff.

Bottle at home. Copperish pour with an off-white head. The aroma definitely seems less intense smoke-wise, even though as it warms it opens up more, but the usual bacon and cheese vibes are for sure more muted than what I’d expected. The taste follows in sinilar fashion, it’s malty upfront, bready, with the smoke staying in the background mainly, showing more in the finish. Whats also unusual is the body, it’s on the lighter side, and even for a sub-5% beer, subsequently the bitterness and dryness feel bigger. Not bad (plus I’m addmitedly biased towards Schlenkerla), but not my favourite from their offerings for sure.
