Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

Brewed by Brauerei Heller
Style: Smoked
Bamberg, Bayern, Germany

Clear brown, with a thick tan head. The smoke is definite in the aroma, as is sweet malt. A definite smoke flavor, almost like liquid smoke in a smooth bock beer. While not displaying a lot of active carbonation in the glass, the beer comes alive in the mouth.

On draught at the brewery. Rich yellowish creamy foam on top of this very dark beer. Smoked aroma with some sweetness underneath. Mellow smoked flavours with a good nuttiness. Well-balanced, leaving the mouth nice and dry. Full-bodied. Solid craftmanship shines through.

Not a huge fan of the smoke beers, but decided to give this one another try in honor of Oktoberfest. Pour is dark amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma, flavor, and palate: smoked ham, oak, charred wood chips, roasty malts, and some campfire. Still can’t say I am a fan of this style, but its always interesting.

ohh the smoke love it, a perfect breakfast beer, good beer smokey dark malts some bacon hickory flavour, intresting beer

Tastes like breakfast! Actually, the very well balanced smoked, malt flavor DOES remind me of a hickory bacon style breakfast. The malt is present, but so is the smoke. There is almost no hop presence in the foreground, a little in the background, but it is so negligible that is almost not worth mentioning. A very good, different beer.

Bottle. Dark brown color with a off-whrite head. Aroma it smoke and sweet malt. Flavor is smoke, caramel, sweet in first mothfull second less smoke third is just vey nice a smoth bock.

Pours dark with a thin off-white head. Smells like pork, or perhaps a fireplace. Taste is of bitter ham or sausage with some malt. Palate is a bit sharp, but that was expected. Not bad, but the Marzen was better.

reddish amber with off-white head. bacon and sausage aroma (delicious) like a good breakfast. flavor is much the same with smooth caramel maltiness. a very different beer than im used to and i loved it. not the same old.
