Description
Although Bergquell beer has been brewed since 1846, the company has been a purely regional brewery for a long time. For the 150th anniversary - 1996 - the new building in the industrial area Löbau-West was inaugurated. In 1999, the annual output was 7,000 hectoliters of beer. But within a few years, the company developed into one of the most modern breweries in Europe with a current annual production of around 200,000 hectoliters and a nation-wide reputation in Germany.

"Lausitzer Bergbock" (ohne "Herbst", aber laut Rücketikett "im Herbst gebraut"), Flasche von Sagasser, FO. - Rotgold, blank; schöner Schaum. - Antrunk füllig karamelmalzig mit dichter Süße, Zuckersirup und kerniger aber auch ruppiger herbaler und orangenbitterer Hopfung. Milder rezent, vollmundig, nur leicht fuselig. Im Abgang solide aber derbe Bittere. - Kernig malztiefer, zwar industriebiertypisch derber aber solider Bock. Paßt gut zu Käsebrot mit altem Gouda.

Bottle at Base Camp. As I like to punish myself sometimes. Daaark brownish coppery body, more on the brown side. Off-white, small head. Some vague nutty dark malt, sugary herbal touches. Sweet sugary csramelly taste, vague herbal notes, some cardboard, vaguely, very vaguely tart.

Tap at Moosburg. Deep chestnut brown. Cherry, but surprisingly not too bad. Cherry, malt, syrup sweetness. Better than the base beer, but not as good as the strawberry one.

Tap at the Moosburger Bierfest.
Artificial strawberry nose,
Clear brown, offers lace
Spritzy mouthfeel, mellow body
Strawberry fizz on light chocolate and roast, a hint licorice, surprisingly drinkable despite the diabetes risk.
Fun, does indeed improve on the base beer.

Tap at Moosburg. Deep chestnut brown. Nose is strong strawberry syrup, you can place this beer 2 meter away on the table, and still get strawberry. Fizzy, light. Still sweet, but somehow less intense cough syrup, compared to the base beer. I kinda like it.

Optisch kastanienbraun und klar mit orangefarbenen Reflexen. Die nussbraune, feinporige Schaumkrone gibt sich flaumig und gut haltbar. Zurückhaltende Duftaromatik - leicht getreidige bis karamellige, aber keine wahrnehmbaren röstigen Malznoten. Der Antrunk kommt sehr süß, weichrezent und zuckerig-malzig. Der Körper wirkt sehr dünn, weich karbonisiert, hat wenig Textur und ist sehr süß. Die ersten Eindrücke setzen sich auf Gaumen und Zunge fort. Man schmeckt sehr viel Süße und eine sehr zarte, trockene Herbe, vernimmt aber bis auf eine zarte Karamelligkeit keine nennenswerten Aromen. Keine Spur von Kakao oder Schokolade. Was soll man zu diesem "Porter" noch sagen? Viel zu süß, zu zuckerig und absolut nicht dem Stil entsprechend. Zwar ist es nicht übel und auch einigermaßen gut trinkbar, aber ja... Die Erwartungshaltung wird massiv enttäuscht. Der süßmalzige, zuckerige Nachtrunk fäll rasch ab und klingt zart trocken-herb aus.
