The Aecht Schlenkerla Fastenbier is an unfiltered smoked beer. The bottom-fermenting yeast gives the reddish light brown Fastenbier a slight natural haze. Its smoky aroma is recognizable even before tasting, and is accompanied by a noble hop note. Upon the first sip, the full-bodied, drinkable Fastenbier unfolds a strong malt flavor, which is rounded off by the smoky taste and subtle bitterness in the finish.
