    Expected a straight-up malty lager but got all that smoke right off the bat. Definitely different, kind of grew on me over the glass.

    That smoky Bamberg style catches a lot of folks off guard their first time. If you ever want less smoke, Aecht Schlenkerla Helles is milder. - Dan

    First had it on draft in Boston and ended up coming back here looking for the bottles. Still love that campfire thing it does, not an everyday beer for me but always fun to have around.

  • Donna P. ★★★★★

    Bottle went way faster than I planned. Shared it with my cousin after dinner, and suddenly it was gone. Wild how easy this is to sip for something so smoky.
