Description
An der Pforte zum Sauerland, im malerischen, immergrünen Hagener Ortsteil Dahl liegt die Vormann Brauerei. Ihre erste nachweisliche Erwähnung findet das traditionsreiche Brauhaus in einer Aufzählung des preußischen Staates zur Ermittlung von Steuergeldern, die aus dem Jahre 1718 stammt!

Eduard Vormann kam 1877 nach Dahl und übernahm den Betrieb, der innerhalb des Dorfes zweimal umzog. Seit 1882 befindet sich die Vormann Brauerei an ihrem heutigen Standort.

0.33 l bottle from the brewery, best before January 2028. Hazy, golden orange with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity-floral aroma of honey, apricot and sultanas. Fairly sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity-floral taste of honey, almond, sultanas and apricot, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, only slightly boozy finish. Full body, smooth and slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very easy to drink, doesn't feel anywhere near its high abv. Not the most complex Eisbock but very well-crafted.

0.33 l bottle from local 'Trink & Spare', best before October 2025. Hazy, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity-floral aroma of grains, straw, some vanilla and a touch of lemon peel. Gently sweet, malty, moderately bitter, a little fruity-floral taste of grains, straw, some vanilla and light lemon peel, followed by a, moderately bitter finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pretty nice Helles, quite moreish for the style, finally a beer which deserves the tag 'naturtrüb'.
