We use a very special smoked malt for our Aecht Schlenkerla Erle black beer. This is not dried over a beech wood fire as usual, but over an alder wood fire. The alder smoked malt brings a fine, complex smoky flavor to the beer, which is less strong and spicy than our classic smoked beer. A high proportion of roasted malt ensures a pronounced roasted aroma and the dark, almost black color. At 4.2%, Aecht Schlenkerla Erle has slightly less alcohol, but has a strong taste.
ABV 4.2%
