Schlenkerla is the most renowned of Rauchbier/Smoke beer breweries. The have a great line-up of seasonal beers and in this comparison, we look at their pre-Easter Fastenbier and autumn Urbock.
Schübel Kellerbock
Schübel Kellerbock is an interesting unfiltered Bock with some Weizenbock elements but firm hopping showing as it warms.
Ebensfelder Heller Bock
Ebensfelder Heller Bock is a richly malty but well-balanced brew with ample hopping, making for a dry easy drinking Bock.
Ebensfelder Dunkler Bock
Ebensfelder Dunkler Bock is a rich contemplate brew full of cocoa and roast and is deceptively strong at 7.2%. It's one of my favorites of 2020.
Hennemann Bockbier Dunkel
Hennemann Bockbier Dunkel is a rich unfiltered chestnut beauty with a gorgeous rocky tan head and rich malty palate tinged with burnt toffee. There are ample hops to make for a semi-dry bittersweet finish.
Hübner Lagerbier
Hübner in Wattendorf brews a classic Franconian lager: a soft low carbonation amber brew with a dry fruity palate and clean bitter finish.
Schroll Bock
Schroll Bock is a dark rich beauty with a hint of licorice and a fine dryish bittersweet finish.
Hübner Fastenbock
One of the most pleasantly surprising bock finds I've stumbled across, Hübner's bock is a dry fruity wonder.
Knoblach Bockbier
One of the great Franconian bocks is close to Bamberg and worth the walk!
