Aecht Schlenkerla Fastenbier
From the barrel in their taproom. Brown, almost black color with a persistent off white head. A bit of smoke and roasted malt in the aroma, though it was difficult to tell in the bar. Initially sweet taste like a milk stout, some roasted malt flavor and bread flavors. The smoked malt / beef jerky flavor is strong in the finish, and became increasingly noticeable as the beer warmed. Very filling mouthfeel. As it warmed, the smoked malt flavor became a bit overwhelming and the thickness of the beer became quite filling. Still, having this beer on tap at its home was an amazing experience.
