Schlenkerla, Rauchbier Marzen (Smoked)

Tasting Notes

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen is the world’s definitive example of a traditional smoked beer, famously brewed in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Bamberg, Germany. Produced by the historic Brauerei Heller-Trum (with roots dating back to 1405), this 5.1% ABV bottom-fermented lager achieves its distinctively intense campfire aroma and savory profile through a historic malting process where barley is kilned over open beechwood log fires.

A complex, savory balance of rich smoke, background caramel sweetness, toasted malts, and a subtle herbal hop bitterness.
