From the bottle. Frothy white head that soon fades. Aroma is grainy with sweet cardboard notes. Taste is mildly sweet with light sour undertones. Metallic at the finish. Medium body, very mild carbonation. Happy I did not need to finish this alone.

"Silvator" aus der 1. Dampfbierbrauerei Zwiesel, Flasche (50 cl) vom Berliner Bierfestival. - Kupferrotbraun, klar. - In der Nase üppiges Toastmalz mit kräftiger Bonbonsüße, überreife Banane, bocktypisch füllig aber zugleich rund dank zarter Fruchtigkeit. - Antrunk schwer karamelmalzig mit fülliger bonbonartiger Malzsüße, satt malzig und zart rauchig (vom längeren Würzekochen?) mit einem Hauch von Lakritz. Leichte fruchtige Säure und reife Banane lockern die süße Schwere geschickt auf. Normal rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang knapp ausreichende Herbe. - Tief malzig-süßer, etwas einseitiger Bock, dem es deutlich an Hopfen und damit an Tiefgang fehlt, was er aber durch originelle Fruchtigkeit ausgleicht. Sozusagen eine eingedickte Version des Zwieseler Dampfbiers. Nicht schlecht.

Zwieseler “Dampfbier“, vom Faß auf dem Berliner Bierfestival. - Schönes Kupferrot, klar. - In der Nase milde Malzsüße, überreife Banane, fein hopfenwürziger Hopfen. - Antrunk satt karamelmalzig mit dezenter bonbonartiger Restsüße, fein ausbalanciert durch zarte fruchtige Säure und reife Banane. Etwas zu stark rezent, trotz schöner Süße eher schlank. Im Abgang allermildeste fruchtige Herbe. - Auf originelle Weise malzsüß, auf Dauer arg dünn aber rund und süffig. Schön!
