Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen is a traditional Franconian smoked beer with 5.1% alcohol, known for its distinctive smoky flavor. The character of this beer is created by malt smoked over beechwood, giving the beer an intense aroma of smoke, wood, and lightly roasted malt. On the palate, a malty sweetness combines with strong, savory smoky notes reminiscent of smoked ham or campfire. Despite its distinctive aroma, the beer remains balanced and pleasantly drinkable. The base consists of water, barley malt, hops, and yeast, with the smoked malt particularly shaping the unique style. The Märzen recipe additionally provides a full-bodied body, a gentle bitterness, and a long, spicy finish. This traditional smoked beer from Bamberg is considered a classic among specialty beers and offers an intense taste experience for lovers of characterful beers. 🍺🔥🌾
