Aecht Shlenkerla Rauchbier Pale Edition

Aecht Shlenkerla Rauchbier Pale Edition

Pale edition, delighted to get a chance to try this. Light copper (amber) body with that spectacular, huge, pillowy pitted head. Unmatched in that department. Lace and retention are excellent. Getting a big mouthful of the foam gives the expected...

Aecht Schlenkerla Helles Märzen

Aecht Schlenkerla
Helles Märzen

Last can from Bine & Vine in San Diego, CA. Newish beer that has been here for about 6-8 weeks. Read all about it here. Beautiful reddish copper body with the usual Schlenkerla head that gives large bubbles, pitted retention and lace. Nose has...

Aecht Schlenkerla Fastenbier (Lentbeer)

Aecht Schlenkerla Fastenbier (Lentbeer)

I've been seeking this one for a while, and it's been a relatively hard beer to acquire for me, but there it was, at Sergio's in Louisville for $9 to go. Pour is as one would expect, with an orange brown, dirty pour. Nice head, good sticky lace....

Aecht Schlenkerla Erle

Aecht Schlenkerla Erle

The beer made with the alder wood smoke. and not the beech wood malt, and the brewery says that imparts a slightly less strong and aggressive smoke element, and I would be inclined to agree. Pour is as expected for a "normal" Schwarz, with that...

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weichsel Rotbier

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weichsel Rotbier

Excited to find this at Navare Res Bier Cafe in Portland, ME and even a little surprised. I think it had only been in the US for a short time when I drank it, and it was in relatively limited supply. The light, copper body is under a nicely formed,...

Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche

Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche

The usual Schlenkerla bottle shape, purchased from Green's on Ponce in Atlanta, GA, USA. The pour is a particularly attractive, gold color with a moderate, white head. It looks really nice in terms of the color, but I would much prefer a bigger and...

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

Additional notes 05/02/2022 (pictured) Such a pretty beer. Luscious smoke permeates every part of the beer, and induces a gulping motion in me. The sweetness is there as I noted back in 2008, and I always find this so tremendously satisfying. One...

Aecht Schlenkerla Helles Lagerbier

Aecht Schlenkerla Helles Lagerbier

Additional notes 06/13/24 Pictured. My attitude toward, and my understanding of this beer has changed a lot in 16 years. I now regard it as a highly drinkable, unique example of the style which changes things up, and offers a bright, interesting...

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen

500 mL bottle, Tower, Piedmont, Atlanta, GA, USA. Nice looking with a decent darkish amber body and some attractive head. Very light lacing, decent carbonation. In typical Heller-Trum style, the aroma is a basically a side of smoked ham in a glass!...

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen

Additional Notes: 05/03/2022 This is the bottle pictured. Reading my original notes (below) from 17 years ago I’m a little surprised, since now I really enjoy this beer. To be honest, much more than a couple in any 12 month period is about all that...
