Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Urbock

I can't pronounce the name of this beer or the company, but that is no matter. That tends to mean it's foreign and very good. Let's get going.

This beer has a very feint amber glow when held up to the light and has very minimal head. Otherwise, this has very good lacing and a rather dark color. The smell is absolutely phenomenal. This is fucking BBQ in a glass. A very classic southern smoked BBQ smell. It smells a lot like a can of pipe tobacco I got from Virginia one time. Amazing. The taste was very minimal with touches of smoked BBQ and the pipe tobacco that I previously mentioned. It also has classic Imperial Stout touches like coffee and roasted malts, but all of these details are rather flat in comparison to the smell which was extremely outward. The texture was very bubbly and carbonated but rather disappointing following that crazy smell with a rather thin body.

The smell and taste of this beer alone are enough to try. This beer absolutely assaults the scenes and it's amazing.

Appearance - 3.9
Smell - 4.8
Taste - 4.0
Texture - 3.4
Overall - 4.03/5
