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.

Bottle - Vintage 2011 - Toffee and rich malty nose. Some chocolate notes as well in the finish. Dark solid brown with a rapidly dissipating brown head. All toasted malts and nice brown sugar. I can’t say I have ever had a beer that accentuated malts so perfectly. Slight booze warmth in the finish, but a brilliant winter beer.

330ml bottle. Clear reddish amber colour with small to average, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Minimally grainy, caramel malty aroma with hints of milk chocolate, minimally fruity (apple, pear) hoppy overtones. Taste is caramel malty with a cautious roasty touch, slightly grassy and fruity hop notes with apple and pear touch. Rather pale Dunkel.
