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 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.

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.

50 cl bottle. The yeast on the bottle caught me off guard and I poured a bit on the glass.(It’s going to impact the whole rating )Extra cloudy dark orange/light brown colour. Light smoked aroma with notorious yeast presence. Slighty smoked and roasted with a very subtle sweetness. Long bitter finish. Medium body with light/medium carbo. It makes you sated I think I’m going to skip the "Spargel in Schinken" for dinner.

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

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

Draught from brouwerij lane in bruecklyn. Termed by the server as a cross between the marzen and the helles and I’d say its accurate. Very good.
