Description
In 1449, Urbar von Wallsee first mentioned a brewery in Hofstetten. This is the oldest record we have of a brewery at this location, and it is a date that has granted us a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the Oldest Brewery in Austria. The tavern/brewery has been in the hands of the Krammer Family since 1847. Now in our fifth generation, we still proudly combine hops and malt daily to make the beautiful product of beer.

0.33 l bottle from ’Biertraum.de’, best before February 2019 (should be bottled three years before). Clear, dark red with a thin, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, raisins, blackberry, treacle and some dark honey. Moderately sweet, malty, a bit fruity and slightly roasty taste of caramel, raisins, dark chocolate and toasted nuts, followed by a short, slightly bitter, minimally herbal finish. Medium to full body, slightly oily and a bit effervescent mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Quite nice, not too intense but round and pleasant.

0,33 l bottle purchased at Hof Luckmann, Bissendorf. Shared with Kristall-König. Unclear bright orange in the glass, nearly no head. Strong alcoholic nose, fruity. Taste starts smooth, malt with honey, fruity, bisquit, marzipan. Increasing alcoholic. But no real IPA bitterness. Strong and really interesting.

Huge thanks to WillemsUrenkel for that one! Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass dark brown, small head. Alcoholic-sharp aroma. Starts very strong and quite alcoholic, burning, roasted malt. Earthy notes, a bit woody. Sweet. The alcohol is not well hidden. Finish warming, burning, unbalanced. Not good.

0,33 l bottle purchased at Hof Luckmann, Bissendorf. A darkest unclear amber in the glass with an one finger beige fomy head. Nearly oily. Malt and dark berries on the nose. Taste has malt and some licorice. Also some metallic hints or is this the granit? Caramell, fresh hop and increasing sweetness in the middle part. Decent present alcoholic sharpness. Low carbonation. Interesting stuff, enjoyed it.

0,5 l bottle, Bought at Hof Luckmann, Bissendorf, Germany. If you ever be in the Osnabrück or Bielefeld area, visit them! Orange golden in the glass, little bit unclear. Big white foamy head. Looks good. Hop on the nose. Maybe with a little bit alcoholic elements and hints of burnt plastic. Taste has a balance between alcoholic bitterness, hop and a malty background. Increasing alcoholic sharpness. Later more floral hop influences. Strong and complex Heller Bock.
