Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock
A: Poured a dark ruby-brown with a 1 finger dirty white head that soon dissipated without much lacing. S: a nice smoked woodiness, with some smoked meat (bacon, beef jerky) with some smoked pork. T: The flavor had some sweet burnt caramel, and fresh campfire smoke and minerality. There was a light charred woodiness, smoked meat (bacon) with some saltiness. A beautiful smoky deep roasted character that lingers on. Considered one of the prime examples of style and rightfully so. M: dry, smoky, with a medium body and a slight oily texture. There was a moderately strong carbonation and nice lingering smokiness long after the swallow. D: Very good I thought, once you get used to the style and this brand especially, all others will pale by comparison. Multiples may be limited but one or two will be sure to leave you satisfied for the night.
