Bottle from an online shop, drink while watching Lochdown. Dark caramel brown, small fine-bubbled head. Syrupy malty nose with earthy hints. Surprisingly smooth for 12%, woody notes, not as sweet as I'd expected. Nice malt complexity with a bit of dried fruit. Still some subtle alcohol notes even though I haven't let it warm up from the fridge. Really pleasant Starkbier, cracking good!

Gold with a frothy white head that lingers. Very little aroma: hints of grain, metals. Taste is mildly grainy bitter throughout with a soggy, cereal finish. Slight lingering fruitiness. Medium bodied, moderate watery texture. Mundane.

Das Miltenberger Festbier der Brauerei Faust, etikettiert als Original Eisenbacher Mirabellenfest-Bier, Flasche aus Vielbrunn im Odenwald. - Braungold, klar. - Nase süßlich brotig-karamellig mit Trockenobst, nur schwache Hopfung, möglicherweise auch Tabak. - Antrunk süß karamelmalzig mit etwas Honig, Aprikose und Orangenschale, grundiert von matter krautiger Hopfenherbe. Mild rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang dumpfe herbale Bittere. - Ziemlich süßes, blaß gehopftes Festbier, kein echter Genuß. (27.9.2021.)

Thanks to Jan for sharing. Fantastic floral beginning. Rum, wood. Malt with lots of dry plums. Mild smooth, very fruity. Deep mild smooth wood, dried plums with red cherries and caramel. Fantastic.

FAUST HOCHZEITBIER. Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Viel Malz (das war anzunehmen), etwas Traubensaft, deutliche Röstaromen (an der Grenze wo es fast schon rauchig wird). Weich, recht frisch, recht süffig. Vielleicht sogar etwas zu süffig - mehr Substanz wäre nicht schlecht.

Bottle from an online shop, drunk after some nice Vietnamese take out. Hazy reddish brown, no head, big nose of vanilla, oak, sherry, brown sugar. Flavor is massive and very smooth for the ABV, I'd have guessed much less. Raisins, hint of soy/umami, well balanced... Wow this is a great barleywine. Excellent brewery, with almost every beer I've tried so far being a hit.
