Description
The Schlossbrauerei Ellingen with its fine beer specialties has been around since 1690. Experience a piece of our long-standing brewing history with every sip. What makes our beers so unique? FÜRST CARL beers are still brewed by hand in the traditional way in the copper brewhouse of the historic brewery. Our raw materials are natural and come from Ellingen and the region: water from our own well, hops and malt from Ellingen and Franconia. We only brew what we are good at: Franconian beer specialties!

Our family, the princes of Wrede and the team of FÜRST CARL stand behind what we do: first-class beers.

"Fürst Carl Winterbock", Fläschchen von Liebick, 18.5.2025. - Dunkelrotbraun, klar; zu üppiger Schaum. - In der Nase fett toastig-karamelliges Malz, Doppelbock-artig, und nur milde hopfenwürzige und leicht zitrusfruchtige Hopfung, insgesamt ein wenig rustikal. - Antrunk schwer toastmalzig mit sirupartiger, fast klebriger Karamelsüße. Nicht zu knappe orangenbittere und hopfenwürzige Hopfung bildet das nötige Gegengewicht zur breiten Malzigkeit; dazu kommen Anklänge an Kirsche und Anis. Milder rezent, breit. Im Abgang solide hopfenbitter aber ein wenig blaß in der Hopfenaromatik. - Sehr solider dunkler Bock mit angenehmer fränkischer Hopfung, vielleicht ein klein wenig derb.

[as Perlenzauber Dry Hopped (2021)] Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e permane in maniera sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, erbaceo e agrumi.

A slightly pale yellow, perfectly transparent. Gets quite some head, even with slow pouring, good retention but very little lacing. A very delicate, actually quite subdued aroma: hay/straw, slight white bread, a hint of honey, a hint of apple. Taste shows a delicate grainy/cerealy base with hints of straw, perhaps a very light honey note, a touch of apple-like fruitiness, very light grassy hoppiness to give balance; a little more intense than the aroma suggested but still a very mild beer. Sweetness and bitterness are both quite low, none stands out in both taste and aftertaste (maybe a very light sweetish aftertaste). Quite light bodied, light to medium carbonation (definitely not a strong carbo, but a not too fine one, bubbles feel slightly coarse). A very classic interpretation, aiming at simplicity and drinkability as expected; gets quite there but lacks a bit in refinement.
