Once again I am nothing less than amazed by a Bavarian beer I didn't even have an idea existed in the first place.The 'authentic Schlenkerla smoke beers' from Bamberg come in a couple of varieties, but I only saw the Märzen variety at my local supermarket.
It is smoky all right. And given my taste in whiskey it's hardly a surprise that I like it a lot. The smokiness comes from drying the malt over beechwood fires.
The name Schlenkerla appears to mean something a along the lines of "the little dangler", as a reference to how one might walk after enjoying this product.
