Description
In the country side, on the banks of Tauber river and directly on "Romantische Straße" ("Romantic Road") there is a small village called Distelhausen, a district of Tauberbischofsheim. As the name suggests, "Distelhäuser Brauerei" (brewery of Distelhausen) is situated here; it is one of the medium-sized breweries in the German beer sector. The brewery was founded in 1811 as Brewery Womann and in 1876 acquired by Ernst Bauer. The brewery is owned by the Bauer family since that year.
In Distelhausen, 23 different kinds of beer are currently produced according to traditional regional brewages. Due to the long-lasting and trustful co-operation with domestic business partners and gastronomy and because of the tight coupling with regional suppliers from agriculture, industry and services, "Distelhäuser Brauerei" considerably supports regional economy in Franconia of Tauber River since the raw materials used are traditionally mainly from the region.
The brewery is a founding member of the Die Freien Brauer (Independent Brewers) initiative, an association of medium-sized private breweries in Germany and Austria. As early as 1956 the brewery involved its staff in various forms in the profits.

Pours a clear golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Malty aroma with a spicy malt touch. Drinkable but nothing special.

Bottle, courtesy of Koelschtrinker. Aroma is bubble gum, some candy and phenols, oxidation, caramel. Body is heavy and strong, sweet and boozy, yet surprisingly low on flavours. Phenols and toasted malts, okay, but not enough. Okay.

Purs pitch black, topped with thin tan head, non-lasting. Milder chocolate nose, slight roastiness way in the back, later on a bit more coffee-like. Sweet malty start, a bit of chocolate here and there. Medium bitterness with a bit metallic-hebral finish that can be a bit too intrusive. Sparkly and light body. Not too bad, though not the best example.
