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.

Ein schönes, tiefschwarzes Porterbier mit einem tiefen, röstmalzigen Körper, dazu ein bisschen Kakao und viel Kaffee. Relativ schwer, aber durch das Aromenspiel nett zu trinken und sehr empfehlenswert.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle, best before August 2017, courtesy of Koelschtrinker, thanks Roman! Clear, dark reddish amber with a medium large, frothy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty aroma of caramel and some red fruits. Moderately sweet, malty taste of caramel, molasses and some red fruits, followed by a short, moderately bitter finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Simple, monotonous but pleasant Bock.

500 ml purchased at Middleton Beer and Wine, Middleton, MA. Color is an unclear golden with full white head. Aroma is yeasty, mild malty breath yeast. Light yeast.
Has a nicely creamy mouthfeel, medium sweetness, some fruits and malt. No bitterness at all. Rather well balance of yeast and malt. Old school.

Bottle. Best before Oct 31, 17 on back label. Classic to the style in every regard. Proper glassware shows a hazy golden color with a solid amount of carbonation. Aroma is the banana, clove, and wheat that comes from a pure German yeast strain.
I know that this style beer doesn’t get much love but... It is spot on the style and drinks easy. Lightly sweet flavor. The banana, light clove/yeasty body and bubble gum are balanced. The finish has a slightly dry texture. My fresh bottle treated me well.
