About
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.

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.

Big thank you to kappldav123 for this 0,5 l bottle. BB 16.01.2026. Dark red golden in the glass, one finger foamy head. Sime malt, caramel and chestnut on the nose. Taste starts with malty bitterness and perfumed alcoholic sharpness. Little bit floral elements. Above average carbonated. Okay for its kind.

50 cl bottle at Titanic Gendarmenmarkt, Berlin.
"Porter", it says. Ha!
A cola-hued pour with a short-lived, foamy, tan head.
Aroma is cola, coffee surrogate, ash, cardboard.
Artificial sweetener onset, bland and thin, abrupt cloying finish. Terrible.

Ein überraschend natürliches Kirscharoma, jedoch eine dominante Süße. Nicht schlecht, aber man darf kein Problem mit Süße haben.
