Thanks to aspidites for sharing this one with me. The beer really delivers for those that love smoke beers. If you’re not a fan of the smoke, this this probably won’t be something you’d enjoy. The aroma is campfire smoke. Flavors are more smoke, bacon, a bit of grassy hops detected with a suprising twangy finish. Lots of smoke in this one and it was quite easy to drink, although an admitted smoked beer lover I could only drink one of these at a time.

Oct 1, 2008 22oz from Bottletrek. Clear amber pour with crisp carbonation, minimal fizzy head. Fairly mild smoke aroma with hints of sea salt. Not much of a malt presence to me, and the body is fairly thin. The salty flavors give the brew a slightly dank finish which tends to undermine the smoky qualities a bit too much. Okay, but nothing to prevent another Aecht Schlenkera purchase.

Sep 21, 2008 Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. Malty smokey aroma. Malty bready and smokey flavor. Slightly sweetish malty smokey finish with some bready hints.

Sep 9, 2008 pours semi-clear amber-orange with a small off-white head that doesn’t last that long.
smell is of smoke, but not as much as a smoked porter or any other darker brews, more like a smoked salmon, some spiciness to it, pepper, some malt in the back.
taste is somewhat watery, tastes like it smells, smoked salmon dip with onions, light on the malt, few hops, ends oily and smokey.
overall very unique but don’t think i can have much of this one.

Sep 7, 2008 Bottle. Pured smoky amber with white fast dissipating head. Aroma of smoke, malt and sea. Flavour of smoke, like a good smoked ham, with malty sweetness. Lasting finish, mor smoke and saltiness. (I do not know it tastes a bit salty. I’m sure they don’t put salt in it." Definitely worth trying again. I wonder how it is on draught.

Jun 29, 2008 6/14/08 On draught at the Washington Brewers Festival. Aroma is classic german smoked malt through and through. Appearance is hazy gold with a moderate maintained off white head. Flavor is smoked roast malt forward with a sour finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a spritzy carb texture. Overall, not a strong rausch but quite refreshing.
