Description
In the middle of the old part of Bamberg, directly beneath the mighty cathedral, one can find the historic smoked beer brewery Schlenkerla. First mentioned in 1405 and now run by the Trum family in the 6th generation, it is the fountain of Original Schlenkerla Smokebeer (in German language it's called "Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier"). The smoked beer is here at the brewery tavern still being tapped directly from the wooden barrel according to old tradition.

Barwa złota, zamglone, piana biała, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.

W aromacie wędzonka, dym, ognisko.

W smaku półwytrawne, nieznaczna słodowość, sporo dymu.

Wysycenie średnie, trochę brakuje, ciało w normie, pijalność dobra.

Udane połączenie aczkolwiek ciut za mało grodzisza w grodziszu.

Bottles from Against The Grain (2023) and Cornelius (2025). Clear ruby body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of berries, earth, Dr Pepper, leather and lightly smoked malt. Flavour of dried fruit, brown bread and butterscotch with a slight hop bitterness to balance things nicely. A unique, very tasty lager. It’s more subtle than Schlenkerla’s beechwood smoked beers.

Vintage 2016. A wiec kozlaczek wedzony 10-cio letni. Jaki jest, na pewno wspanialy. Z wygladu piekna piana nawet trwala jak na 10 letniego bocka to dziwi. Bardzo ciemne brozowo-kasztanowa barwa ale sa przeswity burgundowej czerwieni. Pachnie wedzona szynka, salami, oscypkiem, parenica. W smaku troche wiecej ciala by sie przydalo, bo dla niektorych moze byc zbytnio pijalne. Jest wedzenie w smaku i posmaku ale wiecej dymnej i charakterystycznej schlenkerli jest w nosie, a szkoda, co nie zmienia faktu ze idealnie laczylo sie i smakowalo z kabanosem staropolskim
