Beers similar to Aecht Schlenkerla Fastenbier

Rauchbier·Germany·5.5% ABV·One of 72 Rauchbiers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Aecht Schlenkerla Fastenbier's smoky and malty character. An unfiltered Rauchbier in reddish light brown, brewed under the Reinheitsgebot of 1516. Bottom-fermenting yeast leaves a slight natural haze. Smoke shows already in the nose, with a noble hop note; a strong maltiness opens the sip, and a subtle bitterness rounds it off. Light grain and Schlenkerla smoked malt are blended, the brew is mashed twice, and hops come from Spalt and the Hallertau. Sold only from Ash Wednesday until Easter.
