Aecht Schlenkerla Eiche

While for the classic « Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier » traditionally beech has been – and still is – used, the malt for « Schlenkerla Oak Smoke » is kilned with Oak wood. The resulting Schlenkerla Oak Smoke Malt has a smoother and more multi layered smoky note than the intensely aromatic Beech Smoke Malt. The hence complex smokiness in the « Schlenkerla Oak Smoke » is paired with the multifaceted bitterness of finest Hallertau aroma hops. With 8% alcohol and amber color it matures for months in the deep brewery cellars underneath Bamberg into a special treat for smoke beer lovers.
