Schlenkerla - Aecht Schlenkerla Erle Schwarzbier

For Aecht Schlenkerla Erle Schwarzbier, a very special smoked malt is used. This is not dried over beechwood fires, as is usually the case, but over a fire made of alder wood. The alder smoked malt brings a fine, complex smoky flavor to the beer, which is less strong and spicy than in our classic smoked beer. A high roasted malt content provides a pronounced roasted aroma and the dark, almost black color. At 4.2%, Aecht Schlenkerla Erle has slightly less alcohol, but is strong in flavor.
