Description
The Brauhaus Gusswerk is an innovative symbiosis of a beer bar and a brewery, a place for enjoyment, communication and cosiness. The initiator of this unique project is Salzburg's Reinhold Barta, passionate brewer. After more than ten years of organic brewing experience he realized his organic brewery in Salzburg's “Gusswerk” in 2007. Reinhold Barta's goal is to make sustainable and biodynamic beer in Austria socially acceptable. When he saw the plans of the "Gusswerk", he immediately knew: "This is where my brewery belongs." The beer should be drawn from the strength of its origin, of course with purely organic ingredients and old, natural manufacturing processes that reflect the circle of nature.

"Urban-Keller" nowhere on the label Very good, dense, yellowish head, very regular over hazy foxy amber beer, some lace. Sweet malts, somewhat weyish, faintly leaves, laurel. Again leafy, but with some dry bitterness, balanced by both sourish CO² and some (sweeter) malts. Fresh herbs, very young hazelnuts. Light body, quite spritzy. Nice, but I miss something as Maillard or caramelisation from the stones. Purchased at the brewpub in Elsenwang.

Explosive gushing to very good, lacey, stable cream to mango head over fully hazy orange-brown beer. With the foamfontain, also explosion of fruity hopesters, rosewater, lunaria, lupulinbomb; pistacchio marzipan. Dry, fruity flavour but also a more chemical (in the best sense of the word) and woody dry-bitterness. Oxydized hops, lupulin, hopoils, citruspeel, rosewater. At least medium bodied, +/- overcarbonated, spritzy, chewy, and more than a tad sticky. Certainly not bad, if just under the real top-IPA treshold. Brauerei Gushwork? Purchased @ the brewery

Red-shot dark brown beer under a frothy lagered cream to dark beige head. Roast, ashes, heated waffle syrup, undergrowth. Dry, really ashy, some caramel backthroat; liquorice. Very faintly mineral. Bit chewy & viscous; good carbonation. Decent light stout.

Small, rather stable yellow head over (cold)hazed amber beer. Quite some caramel upon opening, parsley, toffee, but also something chemical, vaguely smelling of shoepolish. Bitter leafy flavour however, autumn leaves, bittering hops. Ends metallic, with some pine. Warming up, the caramel returns to the flavour, as well withs some apple(skins). Feels very carbonated, almost fizzy, which works against the sweetness of the caramel, adding some acidity. Very slick, light to medium bodied. Nose wasn't exactly a delight, but for the rest, pretty much OK.

Sampled @ the Elsenwang brewpub. Big thanks to Helena and Hübert for driving us here! Thick-set, creamy, fluffy head over almost black beer. Nutty, ashy, bit roast; sweet dried fruit, overripe bananapeel. Liquorice, ashes, sweet roast, and finally some (C) hops too. Pretty well bodied, viscous but nowhere cloying, whilst some of the other steroid Gusswerk brews are a bit. Despite the strength, quite drinkable!

Sampled @ the Elsenwang brewpub. Big thanks to Helena and Hübert for driving us here! Small if lacey whitish head over dull ochre beer. Islay malt a mile out, as well as some citrus notes creeping through. Again Islay malt in the mouth, whisky, and again a tad citrus/orange. Very syrupy feel, medium to good carbonation which lightens the MF a bit. Any Islay malt aficionado would be satisfied. The beer was nicknamed hidden whisky beer, but I utterly fail to understand the "hidden"...
