Description
Die Brauerei Schwarzer Adler, von der uns noch unser Wappentier erhalten ist, hat sich im Laufe der Zeit zur Brauerei Eichhorn entwickelt. Unsere Familie hat sich der handwerklichen Brautradition verschrieben, und wir stellen mit modernster Brautechnik in aller Ruhe ausgereifte Biere nach dem bayerischen Reinheitsgebot von 1516 her. Und daran wird sich auch in Zukunft nichts ändern.

Um diese Qualität zu gewährleisten, unterzieht sich die Brauerei einer ständigen Qualitätskontrolle durch ein unabhängiges Institut.

Very dark brown with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of burnt grains and hazelnut. Taste is grainy and herbal bitter with both roasted tones with an underlying licorice sweetness. Finishes burnt and faintly coffee ground sour. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, acceptable chewiness. Good.

Tap at BGB. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Huge pear ester profile. Smooth sweetish lean wheat malt, light vanilla and pear ester profile, bit of banana as it warms. Not bad, missing phenols but can be drunk.

(Bottle, 0.5l, at Pikkulintu Puotila, 20260722) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, grain and honey. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, grain, honey, fruitiness and bitterness. Aftertaste had ht, grass and bitterness. A tasty grassy brew with balanced malty body.

An uncommonly coloured rauch, golden with some amber hints, quite transparent. Medium sized white head, average retention and lacing. Quite good intensity in a relatively simple but clean and even slightly fresh-feeling aroma: a slightly fragrant malty base with notes of grain/hay, a hint of hop freshness (grassy?), smoked notes coming out with campfire and an uderlying cheese-like smokiness (provola). Taste feels simple and clean too, good enough intensity: a pretty neutral malty base (hay/grainy), smoked notes as per aroma, a good dose of dry floral notes; restrained sweetness (definitely lacks the soft/sweet base of darker coloured rauchs), average bitterness, feels like a pretty dry beer, but nicely balanced as a whole. Quite light in body, average carbonation, quite easily drinkable as mandatory. Overall: a welcome twist on the style and a pretty good beer on the whole.

Huge thank you to kappldav123 for this 0,5 l bottle. BB 29.03.26. Cloudy mid golden in the glass with a more than one finger white foamy head. Looks good. Sweet pale fruity aroma, caramel in the background. Taste starts with malty elements, increasing medical alcoholic with pale grain. As so often a Heller Bock can not convince.
