Sampled @ the Elsenwang brewpub. Big thanks to Helena and Hübert for driving us here! Very dense, utterly stable cream-brown head over jet-black beer. Liquorice, blue grapes, roast, but suggesting quite some sweetness. Liquorice; a light, almost fruity sweetness, ashes, wood. Bit sticky, well-bodied, viscous; good carbonation. It is a bit unidimensional IMHO, but to Austrian standards probably revolutionary.

Draught Thick, pale tan hed, very even over jet-black beer; rings of lace. Roast, bit cigarette ashes. Nose suggests some restsugars, caramel. Roast, woody, dry bitterish finish. Then falling flat. Light body, quite carbonated. Beyond weird. Given blind, I would have immediately assumed drinking Irish stout - and the looks wouldn't help it. But a Dunkel?

Cask Huge, overflowing yellow head (despite being cask, their dispense is messy, and since top-ups are to be tipped, CAMRA would be besides themselves); beer not visible since only tapped in Steine . Nose a bit as from dark honey, bit lightly coloured malts, geen leaves. Sweet malts, finish being lighter, sporting even a light bitterness in the end. Bit of CO² sourishness, whilst warming up, a bit grapejuice flavour appears. Quite slick, but nowhere thick. Well carbonated despite the cask dispense. Though quite OK, the beer misses hops. I find it a bit lame seen the expectations this place exhales. I suspect the Austrian monks are a tad more commercial oriented than their Belgian trappist brethren.

Draught Very huge, whipped eggwhite-like head over not very carbonated golden beer. Pale malts, really fresh, Pilsner malt. Green leaves, bit of ureum. More toast in the flavour than expected. Mild, dry bitterish flavour, very dry finish. Light body, very slick, good carbonation. In the end, just a Pilsner, if on the better end of the scale.

Not much head; metallic darker golden, clear beer, no carbonation visible. Not much nose... Toast, old leftover toast, utterly neutral. Undercarbonated, light MF. Got it. I want gluten!

Fully hazy, light orange-yellow beer with a small fluffy white head. Not much nose; obviously wheat, faintly peppery. Seem to get some lactic acid, surprise, surprise. Lemony character. Pale malts & wheat. Bit dry, not much else. Light body, just a bit wheatslick. Not very carbonated. Verdict: drinkable, if not much else.

Draught Lacey, medium head over light copper beer. Sourdough bread, very bready character, different malts & wheat. This is pure liquid bread. Bit toasted malts, but mainly fermented different grains. Medium bodied at best, bit slick; soft if present carbonation. Original, despite its common profile.

Medium, fluffy off-white head, lacey, over fully hazy orange beer. Bit sourish, wheat, lactic, if also just a tad acetic, as in gurkins. Faint clove. Very little acidity in the mouth, however, even pretty sweet. Grains, orange. More clove here, banana, wheat. Maybe medium bodied, medium carbonation. Very übliches , but there's nothing wrong.

2024 Jahrgang Almost no head, metallic copperish-golden, clear beer; not very lively. Very little nose, suggesting sweetness. However, very dry maltflavour until the (modest) aftertaste which sports a metallic bitterness. Retronasal serious hints of canned bamboo, putting it nicely. Light, undercarbonated. Rubbish.
