Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen
Appearance Dark brown and thin/clear in the body with a nice, working head that laced the glass. Smell When I lived in Germany I knew a pig farmer, and one day we slow roasted a pig on a spicket for nine hours for a family reunion. Thats about the only time Ive ever smelled anything as smoky and meaty as this ale. This stuff embedded itself in my walls. Dont dip your nose into it; smell it from a distance. It smells like fried bacon. Taste Light malts and with a little bit of sweetness, almost like a good Oktoberfest ale, with smoke for days. Think beef jerky or fried bacon. Mouthfeel - This ones a lightweight, as expected, and very flat. Drinkability I doubt most people could finish this bottle, but if youre a fan of the smoke (rauch) flavor, this is a must try.
