Nice lighter brown color, with a slight head. Aroma is, of course, smoky, with a touch of malt sweetness. Flavor profile follows the aroma very closely, as well, with a touch of sweetness mingling with the smoked darker malt flavors. Finish is very long, and as someone else pointed out, rather ’wet’. Very smooth all the way through, and the smokiness kind of fades in the aftertaste just before a bit of hoppiness and some nice malt flavors shine through. I am again suprised at how much I like rauchbier, although I am sure to keep my exposure to it at a minimum (familiarity possibly breeding negative things; I have a similar attitude about Pink Floyd).

Dark brown colour witha ruby red shine and light fizzy white head. The nose is meaty and very smokey with a light sweetness and touch of roast. The body is of course very smokey with a semisweet malty beginning. Finishes bitter. A great big smokey beer, the smokiest of the three that I’ve tried, also the most robust.

Dark brown to black in color,small tan head that has some lasting power.Very nice smokey aroma,mild malt,smells like a good hard wood smoked bacon or bacon bits.Very smokey flavor with a slight malt to it and you can actually detect the hop bitterness in it.The after taste is mild malt,bitter with a smoked fish attitude.Very nice brew I kind of still prefer the marzen but this is pretty decent and worth having.

I love this stuff more than anything when I am having BBQ or smoked salmon. The urbock is not as good as the marzen IMO but it is still quite decent.

never managed to find this in bamberg so i was glad to see it in san francisco. not the freshest bottle but the aroma was still a treat, burnt hay and bacon. a little sweeter than expected, rotting fruit and a little chocolate crackle and pear, lightly salty dryness, looking forward to a fresh one some time, hopefully in october at the brewery

Bottle at Brickskeller. The character is standard Schlenkerla. The heavy peat smoke aroma is awesome; bbq smoke and malty bock flavor. Awesome stuff.

Bottle. Pours deep mahogany with beige head. The aroma is distinctly smoky with campfire and bacon, and just a touch of malty sweetness behind it. The flavor has a rich, meaty flavor from all that smoke and some lightly burnt wood tones. There’s also some very subtle grassy hops and graininess in there.

Bottle. dark amber brown beer with a nice light beige head. Strong smokey aroma - woodsy/earthy with some salty cured pork. Seet malt and smoke flavor with some light saltiness. Smooth finish. Saltier than the marzen.
