Description
The brewing company of the Montseny was born with the desire to provide a craft beer of the highest quality: our beers are handcrafted and natural. We are a microbrewery with a productive capacity of 3.000 litres in each development. Through the system of English traditional elaboration (with maceration by the method of simple infusion), the production process is virtually manual. Because of these unique features of elaboration, handcrafted beers are produced. In the brewing of the Montseny we bottle natural beers and unpasteurised. The carbonic gas is generated naturally by the yeast that is contained in the bottle. We can say that they are living beers that evolve over time. The alcoholic fermentation is a traditional way to food processing to lengthen their preservation allows us to not add any artificial preservative to the beer. Our microbrewery specialises in beers of the family of the Ales or high fermentation, unlike the majority of the national productions, which are of the family of the Lager or bottom-fermented. It is recommended to drink our beers, if well fresh, less cold than the Lager.

Tap at Zmajska. Pitch black body with a brownish head. Sharp aroma, raisins and big barrel notes. More of the same taste-wise... raisins, barrel, light chocolate, some glue, kinda nice, but on the other side, quite rough. Nice, but not a top class Imperial Stout I'm afraid, not in this shape.

Tap at Zmajska. Misty orange body with an off whtie head. Lactic aroma, quite peachy. Light, leans sweetish taste, lightly fruity, a bit earthy. Okay enough overall, but slightly too earthy... Shame it didn't come here immediately, but hey.

bottle from aldi, magaluf, mallorca. brown, light brown head. aroma is quite mild. nuts, malts, italian food herbs, faint honey or mead like note. Flavor is spices, malts, brown sugar, licorice, ending in a spicy but not hoppy bitterness. In fact it does remind me of the countless danish traditional christmas ales i've tasted over the years. Perhaps they have somehow been an inspiration to this one. Or perhaps they just followed a belgian duble recipe and emptied the spice rack at the end.

Botella 33 CL en el Kraken Oviedo 13..04..2019. (r23). Color amarillento marrón claro turbio con espuma blanca persistente. Sabores maltosos y cereales con toques suaves ahumados y buena sensación de amarga de piel de castaña Queen algún momento llega a resultar algo seca y como que no encaja muy bien. Cuerpo ligero a medio fácil de beber, tiende a algo seca acabando con suave amargo al final. Normal.
