Description
The first record of the inn and brewery “Zum goldenen Engel” in Crailsheim from 1738 reads “annual production volume 150 buckets.” In 1877 George Fachs becomes the new owner of the brewery. The Fachs family still owns - now in the fifth generation - the brewery. In 1984 Engel becomes the first German brewery to bottle Radler. Since the turn of the millennium, Engel-Biermanufaktur has developed into a specialty brewery that regularly receives awards for its beers.

(33cl screw cap bottle) Clear, dark amber colour with a beige fluffy foam. Sweet and moderately toasted and bready malty aroma with notes of caramel, chestnut puree and traces of alcohol. Sweet flavour with a tinge of burnt bitterness, quite slim for an abv of 6.2%, smooth mouthfeel. Toasty dark malty taste with caramel flavours and nutty notes; sweet malt-accented finish with shy traces of herbal hops. One of the better Engelbräu brews, too bad it is only made for women (23.II.09).
