Description
In Gunzenhausen, mitten im wunderschönen fränkischen Seenland, pflegen wir noch echtes Brauerhandwerk. Traditionelle Biere, wie sie nur aus der traditionellen Bierhochburg Franken kommen, finden Sie hier genauso wie innovative Produkte. Wir lieben Bier und so brauen wir es auch.

Mit den Schorschbräu-Starkbieren führen wir einen Trend weiter, der sich Weltweit unter Bierkennern durchsetzt. Sehr Starke und handwerklich gebraute Biere mit ihrem unverwechselbaren Charakter sprechen den Genießer an, weit weg vom üblichen Einheitsbier.

Schorschbräu-Biere sind ganz klassisch nach dem Deutschen Reinheitsgebot gebraut. Durch spezielle Bierhefen, viel Malz und mindestens 4 Monate Lagerung erreichen wir sehr hohe Alkoholgehalte. Dadurch sind Kohlensäuregehalt und Schaumhaltbarkeit eher gering, das Aromaprofil aber sehr interessant und die Biere sehr dunkel.

Brown with no head. Notes of dark ripe fruits, molasses, toffee, red berries, a bit of oak, chocolate. Full bodied. Finish has a semi-tart fruit profile covered up with sweet malts and the booze finally shows its hand. It’s solid.

Mahogany with no head. Fruitcake, bold molasses, herbal, tobacco. Sweet throughout. Full bodied. Finish is warm and sweet and lingers. It’s fine but it feels a bit pedestrian.

Bottle at home, debris under the crowncap, dark beer, no head. Aroma is alcohol, raisins, sweet, malt, liquorice, some acidity. Taste is the same, sweet, bitter, acidic, malt, liquorice, tangerine, fruit, raisins. Liquorice and bitter aftertaste ending in alcohol warmth. Very weird combination and quite strong alcohol flavour, odd one

This is a gimmick brewery, specializing in "the strongest beers in the world" -- for very high prices but no matching quality, apparently. This is one of the cheaper ones. Tastes cheap. Boozy. The complexity and depth of Kid Rock.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek' (online), bottled in April 2024. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, almost stable, light brown head. Intensely sweetish-malty, quite roasty and slightly fruity aroma of praline, coffee, licorice, dark fruits and some wine gum. Rather sweet, moderately bitter, quite roasty, a little sourish, gently vinous-fruity taste of praline, hard roasted coffee, licorice, red berries, red wine and a touch of vanilla, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter, gently tart finish. Full body, smooth, slightly astringent and moderately creamy mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Very interesting beer, unexpectedly sourish and fruity, rather unique.

Trocken röstiger, mild säuerlicher Beginn, Espresso, moderat nach Roggen, der Alkohol ist klar erkennbar. Cremig, dennoch trocken, langer, erstaunlich weicher Abgang. Nett. 10/9/10/10/9/10

It's hard to take this brewery seriously. Everything is high alcohol, but that doesn't mean high quality.

Bottle at Moosburger Bierfest. Darkest brown, no head. Dark malty roast aroma, clean, raisins, preserved plums, some higher alcohols, but in general mire lightfooted than the lager variant, fun booze, easier on the palate overall.
