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.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with beige to tanned head. Notes of smoked wood, bacon, blackcurrant, nuts, brown bread, milk chocolate. Medium body, slick. I'm not a big fan of this style but this is the best I've tried by far. There are some lighter fruit and chocolate notes which offset some of the smoke and meaty rich elements. Much better balanced. I actually enjoyed it!

Czarniutkie, piana dość szybko opadła. Kiełbasa w aromacie, przyjemne ciemne nuty dochodzą w smaku. Nie jest zbyt wodniste, ale przydało by mu się więcej ciała. Wtedy byłoby niemalże idealnie.

I have had this from a bottle and from a can. This is one of the world's best breweries and I love rauchbier but I did not enjoy the adler smoke as much as the other beers. Still, flavors of smoked meat and campfire, as well as heavily roasted malt. Still a great beer but this brewery has set a high bar.

Bottle. Thx to Bryne for the trade. Its a dark one, close to black, but with a reddish brown hue. Some lacing from the dark beige head. The aroma has a delicious smoke touch, ham, bonfire, along with dark dried fruit, some roasted malts and a light piney hoppyness. It's medium bodied, close to full bodied, with a good bitterness and a gentle bitterness. Semi-dry. Roasted malts, some licorice and dark chocolate, a hoppy fruityness and most of all smoke in the flavor. Smoked ham, cured sausage, some bonfire. Lasting finish. A very well brewed beer, suited for so many occasions. Cured and/or smoked meat and cheese, by the bonfire or while barbequeing at least. 241218

Drewno olchowe to jednak nie ten klimat co agresywna wędzona bukowa, wyraźna mineralna nuta trochę mi nie pasuje. Nie ujęło.
