À propos

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Fastenbier is an annual special release from the legendary Bamberg brewery Schlenkerla. This lighter variant on their celebrated smoked beers is brewed with a blend of pale and smoked malt, following the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516. The smoke character comes from the malt-drying process itself, not from smoking the finished beer. The result is a balanced rauchbier where gentle smokiness intertwines with sweet malt notes and a subtle bitterness. The finish is dry with a touch of malt sweetness. A rewarding choice for those seeking the distinctive Schlenkerla smoke in a more approachable strength, and a natural pairing with aged cheeses.
