500mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Nose has an old furniture-like character to the malt, with pleasant metallic notes, and crisp bready malt. Flavour is much the same, with old bready malt, a biting crispness, and gentle bitterness on the finish. Nicely constructed; something different for Schlenkerla.

Beautiful copper with a tall white head. The aroma doesn’t show much smoke but it’s much more apparent in the flavor. But, it’s not a smoke powerhouse, just a nice light smoke profile. After that, there is grain, some earthy hops and slight caramel. Medium to full bodied. Finish has a light smoke note and spicy hops. I’m not a big smoked beer fan, but the smoked malt is expertly balanced and not overwhelming. A lovely beer.

Bottle at home. Beautiful little keller with underlying smoky notes both in aroma and taste. It’s apparent right away at the first smell/sip but it remains in the background throughout, supporting the malt character. Lovely.
