Schlenkerla Aecht Schlenkerla Erle

Black beer has been available since at least the 16th. Century and was more widespread earlier than today. In the industrial revolution in the 19th In the 19th century, it was almost displaced by mass-produced lighter beers. Only a few breweries have preserved the beer style, and since approx. 30 years he is now experiencing a renaissance. For our Aecht Schlenkerla Erle black beer, we use a very special smoked malt. This is not dried over beech wood fire as usual, but over a fire made of alder wood. The alder smoke malt brings a fine, complex smoky taste to the beer, which is less strong and spicy than with our classic smoked beer. A high roasted malt content ensures a pronounced roasted aroma and the dark, almost black color. With 4.2%, Aecht Schlenkerla Erle has a little less alcohol, but is strong in taste.
