Der Granit des Innviertels soll für das weiche Brauwasser und in weiterer Folge für das süffige Bier dieser Region verantwortlich sein. Darum wird ihm diese Granitbier-Reihe gewidmet. Hier bekommt der Trinker ein schönes, bersteinfarbenes Bier mit einem tollen Malzkern und schönen Karamellnoten, welche gepaart mit schönen röstigen Schwarzbrotaromen kommen. Ein feines Bier mit einem schönen HIntergrund.

Shared at a tasting, small creamy head, cloudy murky brown color, aroma of dried fruits, sour bread and hints of rum and barnyard, flavor of dark bread, candy and some graininess, dried fruits aftertaste. Quite nice and enjoyable.

Donkerbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is zoet en kruidig met iets van braam, rozijn, chocolade, karamel en noten. Erg goed.

Bouteille 33cl. Brune voire ambrée, col beige. Arôme au nez sucré cristallisé, fruits noirs; figues et date avec raisin sec, petite note de grillé en rétro-nasal. Palais est épais, caramélis, sirupeux, pas mal de sucre résiduel mais sans être surfait, effet flash caramélisé bien surprenant et un fini versant sur le fruit noir assez savoureux.

0.33 l bottle from ’Biertraum’, best before July 2020 (probably bottled in July 2015). Clear, very dark ruby with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Intensely sweetish, malty and moderately fruity aroma of plums, raisins, molasses, figs and caramel. Very sweet, malty and slightly fruity taste of raisins, plums, molasses, figs and some caramel, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, quite warming and minimally alcoholic finish. Full body, oily and sticky mouthfeel, almost flat. Really tasty, rich and saturating stuff, almost like a bottom-fermented Barley Wine.

Thank you tderoeck! 330 ml. bottle split post ACBF 2017. BBF 13.07.2021. Dark ruby brown, brief tanned head. Nose is sweet herbal caramelized banana, lager fish guts dominates bit much, brown banana. Taste is big on fish guts lager yeast, sugar, brown banana, yeasty, soapy, yeast dominates bit too much, herbal. Body is herbal lager yeast. Okay but I liked the basic version a lot more. Caramelized taste seems to be bit absent here.
