It is malted over alderwood, which burns cooler and sweeter and leaves a lighter, more resinous smoke character than beech. That smoke sits on top of a schwarzbier, the black lager of eastern Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination gives you roast and smoke at the same time without the beer turning heavy. It is dark in the glass but still a lager underneath, which means it finishes cleaner than the color suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle alderwood smoke, dark chocolate, and roasted grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium bodied, roasty and softly smoky, with a cocoa edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry and clean, smoke lingering longer than the roast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe at 45 to 50 degrees so both the smoke and the roast stay readable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with grilled meat, barbecue, dark bread, or aged cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTry it beside the standard Marzen Rauchbier to taste what the wood actually changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift it: a genuine rarity for anyone who already knows Schlenkerla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrewing at the Heller-Brau site in Bamberg is documented back to 1405, and the Trum family has run it for six generations.
