Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen
heres to review number 296 which gives me 1000 Karma! A- poured a dark dark ruby wiht a off-white tan that built up pretty quickly and gave a decent amount of lacing on top as well. S- much less smoked than the hefe- version, prolly due to a much longer maturation of the beer. a solid maltiness to it that gives it slight sweetness to it (if you discount the smoky character) T- a wonderful version of the beer, the hefe was way too smoked but this is just spectacular, a wonderderful blend of maltiness and smoky character all over. the blending of malt and smoke i couldnt say more about, lightly smoky on the finish which turns to a slightly sweet finish which is great for a marzen style, the hops are there but pretty laid back and allow the beer to be pretty sweet, which works. M- medium body medium carbonation, slightly lingers on the tongue D- pretty damn delicious M- full body with a medium carbonation
