Porter aus der Privatbrauerei Hoepfner, Flasche von Bierselect.de. - Dunkles Schwarzbraun, klar. - In der Nase elegante aber etwas blasse Röstaromen, Mokka und Kakao, ganz leichte weinige Schwere. - Antrunk kräftig röstmalzig mit Mokka, Kakaopulver und ein klein wenig Asche. Leichte, mild karamellige Restsüße. Dezente aber aromatische kräuterige Hopfenherbe (Schweizer Kräuterzucker - ist das Tettnanger?). Vollmundig, leicht trocken; der etwas höhere Alkoholgehalt ist perfekt eingebunden. Im Abgang mild hopfenwürzige Herbe. Langer malzbitterer Nachtrunk. - Interessantes Bier, vom Geschmacksprofil her eindeutig untergärig und somit kein klassisches Porter sondern eher ein schwarzes Märzen. Jedenfalls sehr probierenswert.

Bottle at the brewery. Pitch black with a high, tan, rocky head. Fruity nose, chocolate, grain, grapes. Lightly roasted flavor, berries, big raisins, coffee, chocolate. Somewhat sweet, but a nicely bitter, dry finish. Decent, very German porter. Wonder if it is a lager?

Tap at the brewery. My sixth MJ500 beer of the journey so far. PAle, shiny gold with a low head. Rather dead malt nose, low hops. Creamy, sweet flavor, somewhat eggy. Dull, oily body. Far too sweet and rather lame overall. Interesting to think that Michael Jackson liked this enough to include it in his 500. There were few well-known Baden-Wurttemburg beers, then, so he must have been happy to try these at the lovely Brauerei-hof. Crazy that 4 Hoepfner beers got into that book. One is now retired, and the Jubelbier only comes in the winter. This was either way better back then or Michael just had such a great time here that he wanted to be nice.
