Charlton draught, 6/6/24. Clear, dark auburn. Well-retained, almost creamy, dark beige head. Wow that is Schlenkerla-level. Peat, iodine, wood, old campfire. All the usual suspects. The maple comes through lightly, with caramel, honey and light pepper on the finish. In the mouth it's very malty with a bready, crusty, smokey, peppery malt. Rich and soft with good depth and attenuation. Honestly, far less smokey in flavor. If you think this is a lot, you may not want to drink Schlennies. Lovely stuff.

Pours a dark, reddish-brown, with big, tan head. Aroma is smoke, some malt. Flavor is smoke and more smoke, some roasted grain, malt. Smooth mouthfeel. But so much smoke--I think they might have overdone that part...
