Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen is an authentic German Rauchbier, brewed in the historic town of Bamberg, Germany, by Schlenkerla, one of the most respected names in traditional smoked beer brewing. This beer is crafted using malt smoked over beechwood logs, a time-honoured method that has been preserved for centuries. The result is a bold and smoky Märzen, known as the benchmark for the Rauchbier style worldwide.

  • Flavour: The dominant smoky malt flavour is complemented by sweet caramel, toasted bread, and a mild bitterness that rounds out the finish.
  • Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation, providing a smooth yet robust drinking experience with a lingering smoky aftertaste.
