Description
After 700 years, the Aktienbrauerei is the last representative of the Kaufbeurer brewing tradition that started in 1308 under the name "Zur Goldenen Traube". The brewery has been owned by the Walch family since 1799. At its current location, the beer cellar was built in 1807, and the company was converted into a stock corporation in 1885. This made the Kaufbeuren stock brewery one of the first stock companies in Bavaria. In the second half of the 19th century, the brewery was the most important brewery in the city.

Bottle picked up from V-Markt, Mainburg and consumed at home Saturday 13th May 2023 listening to BC Camplight - The Last Rotation of Earth and just had Kebabs Fin cooked Sweet Pork Sate and Loz The Original Karin's Seekh Kebab but with Beef Mince rather than Lamb as we are cooking lamb tomorrow. Pours deep reddish brown with an off white head. A hit of burnt treacle actually more toffee, lovely soft mouthfeel, not sure of the exact abv but it goes down remarkably easily, btw the head didn't last long. Good.

Bottled (from Alko Web). Yellowish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is grassy, herbal, grainy and mild earthy tones. Flavour is sweet malts, some biscuity tones with mild grass herbs and earth. Also a slight metallic edge as it warms up. But as long as somewhat cold this works really well.

Bottle online from The Trembling Madness. Pours a clear copper/bronze colour with a large thick foamy white head. Aromas of grains, hay and doughy white bread. Taste is very malty with more grains, hay and bread, a little caramel and a sweetish finish. No bitterness. Medium body, low carbonation and a smooth oily mouthfeel. A little alcohol warmth but generally hides it well. Decent Marzen

Half-pint, draught at 33 Bottles. Shared with Finn. Deep dark brown body, steady beige head, spotty lacing. Moderate roasted dark malty nose, bread-like malts to it. Blended dark malty flavours, including caramel, earth, and dark bread, supported by a touch of almond. Mid-dry roasted ending. Satisfying. (Gosport 19.10.2022).
