Schlenkerla Fastenbier

Sorry, I wasn't clear.. The Fastenbier is primarily for in house consumption. The send a very small number of kegs to the US (and maybe other countries, I don't know). What I meant by "Lagerbier only more so" was a stronger (bock) version of the Lagerbier as a Fastenbier -- that would be a good contrast to the Maerzen. If I could drink the Fastenbier at my local I would be in heaven. But I don't drink that much of it in Bamberg -- I drink the Schlenkerla Maerzen if I'm in a mood for smoke and Spezial (or others) if I've had enough smoke.
