Description
In 1758 the first master brewer, Peter Still from Fischbach, was able to start work on the Hammersee. In 1804 the Electorate of Bavaria decided to privatize the brewery. In 1884 Johann Baptist Jacob, great-grandfather of the current generation of owners, Marcus and Friedrich Jacob, acquired the company. The next two generations Jacob (each with first name Friedrich) took over his pioneering spirit and the iron will to keep the company up to date for the benefit of quality and employees. The continuation of the family tradition is assured even today. For the future, the next generation of Jacob is ready to successfully carry the centuries-old values into the fifth generation.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. An unclear, amber beer with an off-white head. It’s bananaish and caramel-ish on the nose, slightly alcoholic, and with a touch of cloves and hops. Warming and full-bodied on the palate, pleasantly carbonated. Caramel, banana, dried fruits and some bitterness in the flavor. Warming, caramel finish with banana. A quite decent one, but too strong. 110819

Bottle like the one on the pic if I remember correctly, courtesy of ogivlado who found it in Austria and shared it with me. Poured a lemony yellow body with a small white head. Eggy sweetish light nose with notes of propolis. Cornflakes-like grainy taste going oily. Carbonation bite is noticable. Boring. 4/2/5/2/9Rerate: Fruitier, maltier nose now, herbal, sweetish malty/grainy taste. Felt it was balanced. 5/2-3/6/3/11
