Bamberg ales: serving temperature?

As part of my research for my first trip to Bamberg in early Sept, I visited an off licence in York and selected a few bottles of ale from some Bamberg/Forcheim breweries. (They had sold out of Schlenkera unfortunately, so I bought a Bavarian rauch bier).

Question: What is the best serving temp for these ales? Say I bring them home in the car boot. Will 2 to 3 hrs in the fridge be OK? I recall my last visit to Munich when I was served ice-cold Augustiner. I didn't like it.

Question: This pertains to all beer types and I've often wondered. is it best to pour out the whole of a 500ml bottle into a pint glass, so as to get a better head? When drinking at home I normally drink from a small 200ml glass and keep "topping up"!

Thanks Bruce

I tend to cool to my own preferences different beers need different temperatures. I would suggest trying different temperatures.

Had a bottle of Hummel Raucherla, a smoked Marzen lager 5.6%. Very nice. Also, a Neder brown ale which I didn't like at all... And a bottle of Neder unfiltered kellerbier, which I liked despite it having no head at all.
