Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock
After trying the Marzen version of their rauchbier, I had to give this one a whirl too. A- pours a clear hue of sepia topped by a quickly dissipating finger of beige head S- more peaty and less hammy than the marzen, a bit more like a campfire than smoked meat but still very delicious- especially in smelling the original malt characteristics beneath the smoke T- a bit more subdued than the marzen as well, with just as many layers but not as over-the-top smoky and hearty as i expected M- medium body with slight crispness and a bit more smokiness than the original sip, believe it or not D- drinks well enough, but it doesn't leap out and scream for more
