Schwarzbier (black lager) has been around since at least the 16th century and used to be more widespread than it is today. In the industrial revolution of the 19th century, it was almost displaced by mass-produced lighter beers. Only a few breweries preserved the beer style, and for about 30 years now it has been experiencing a renaissance.

For our Aecht Schlenkerla Erle black lager we use a very special smoked malt. This is not dried over beech wood fire, as is usually the case, but over fire made of alder wood. The alder smoked malt brings a fine, complex smoky flavor to the beer – less strong and spicy than in our classic smoked beer. A high roasted malt content provides a pronounced roasted aroma and the dark, almost black color. At 4.2% abv, Aecht Schlenkerla Erle has slightly less alcohol, but is strong in flavor.

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks simple but really good. Beer in the glass with a nice head. Mild smokey aroma. Starts fine malty, roasty-smokey, not too intense. Shy bacon touch, some herbs as well. Some wood, mild bitter chocolate in the background. Finish wonderful balanced, fine soft smokey-malty notes. Really nice!

01/2026 Aromat dymny bardzo intensywny wędzona wędlina.
Bura piana lekko zamglone, brązowe
Nagazowanie duże, treściwość lekie, bez ostrości finisz trochę dymny i czekoladowy.
Smak trochę słodowe, i wędzonki lekkie, słodkie średnio goryczka niska
Ogólnie piwo w stylu dla mnie trochę takie bez sensu tylko ta dymnosc.

Bottle at the DC Beer August Share. Poured a deep brown-black with ruby highlights. Flavor was malty and roasty with a noticeable amount of smoke. I'm always on the fence about smoky beers, but these are some of the best examples.

0,5 l bottle. BB 01/2026. BLACK in the glass, nearly two finger beige head. Intensive malty with smoked ham and woody sweetness on the nose. Taste is more on the malty side, smoked malt and some smoked pork meat in the second row. Mid bitterness. Below average carbonation. Long lasting bitterness with hints of peat. Nice one.

Barwa ciemno brunatna, klarowne, piana beżowa, dość obfita, dość trwała.

W aromacie sporo dymu, spalone drewno, liście.

W smaku półsłodkie, podbudowa słodowe w typie lekko karmelowym, do tego palony słód z lekka. Kontra chmielowa minimalna, ale wyczuwalna. Ponownie sporo dymu, bardzo przyjemnego.

Goryczka niska, nieco brakuje, wysycenie i ciało w normie, dobry balans.

Kolejne bardzo dobre piwo od Schlenklerli.

Superb. Really good levels of smokiness and roasted malts, but superbly balanced so nothing dominates or mutes the other flavours. Light and smooth, slightly dry finish.

500ml bottle. Ciemna jak smola etykieta, rownie ciemne jak barwa piwa, ciemne jak wegiel drzewny wypalany w Bieszczadach, pachnie jak dym w bacowce z doliny chocholowskiej. Aromaty i smaki lepsze niz cala polityka zielonego ladu. Wspaniale intensywny aromat, wiadomo wszystkiego co jest wedzone, od oscypkow w polskich tatrach po parenice w slowackoch tatrach, od kielbasy swojskiej po salami wegierska. Cod i miod, szkoda tylko ze piana srednia.ale trzyma na szczescie ten aromat

Coca cola, abundante espuma super cremosa, beige. Potente aroma ahumado. En boca es ligera, pero de sabor intenso, base muy malteada, e intensa y perfectamente ahumada. En una buena barbacoa es inmejorable.
