Description
Craft beer in its purest form is what Sebastian Sauer, the head behind Freigeist beer culture, produces. Sebastian is known among experts as one of the first craft beer brewers in Germany. True or not, he's a veteran in the craft beer scene and an expert who is second to none. It's not for nothing that his beers are more popular than any other German beer in the USA, the home of craft beer.
Free spirit beer culture is conquering the craft beer world with the salvation of old, long-forgotten beer styles. Sebastian reads himself into the matter until he has found out all the ingredients of the original recipe and the subtleties and secrets of the old brewing style. With this knowledge, he then ponders how the beer would be brewed these days and what ingredients would be used. He doesn't want to bring old camels out of grandma's handbag to the light of day, but rather to transport the beers of the past with skill and expertise into the present. His beers are therefore not just reproductions of old recipes, but rather modern new editions. With this concept, the brewery has made a good name for itself in the craft beer scene and attracted international attention.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek', best before May 2028. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently smoky and slightly fruity aroma of molasses, olibanum, raisins, smoked ham, nuts and chocolate. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently smoky and slightly fruity taste of molasses, ash, olibanum, smoked ham, raisins, prunes, chocolate and toasted nuts, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Pleasant sipper, not too smoky, rather intense and warming.

Mooch tasting, courtesy of the gang, bottle
Dark brown with no head. When one thinks that at the bae there's a Barley Wine, this Eisbock is not that sweet; te process on the other hand concentrates the bitterness, which therefore seems excessive; it's nutty, a bit earthy, there's some leather, and there's a lot of alcohol. Not so bad.
