COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dies Iræ ist ein extremes Starkbier (Barley Wine), handwerklich gebraut im Brauhaus Gusswerk in Salzburg. Seine Zutaten: Österreichische Bio-Spezialmalze, Summit- und Cascade-Bio-Hopfen aus dem Yakima-Valley in den USA und eine doppelte Gärführung aus Unter- und Obergäriger Spezialbierhefe. Fruchtig im Antrunk, unterlegt von feinen Bittermandeln kommt der Genuss gewaltig auf die Zunge. Töne von Grapefruit mischen sich harmonisch in den elegant-kräftigen Körper. Genießen Sie Dies Iræ als Aperitif oder Digestif, am besten bei ca. 12°C und aus dem Weinglas. Es eignet sich aber auch bestens zur weiteren Lagerung und geschmacklichen Reifung im Bockbierkeller. Sie werden überrascht sein, wie sich Dies Iræ im Laufe der Zeit entwickeln kann!

Geiserich (2338) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - DEC 25, 2011

Bottle: Hazy, very dark brown color (coffee), quickly disappearing head. Roasty, light smoky nose with notes of malt, liquorice, candy. Flavor is full bodied, medium sweet, roasty, sweet rum plums, cacao powder, dark chocolate. Light notes of alcohol but all in all well hidden. Roasty, light to medium bitter finish.

garrettdcole (23) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - NOV 15, 2011

Coffee colored with a quickly dissipating beige head. Alcohol is well hidden both in flavor and aroma. The wife describes it as a boozy stout, I would have to agree. A little less sweet than I would prefer and closer to an American rather than English Barleywine (the latter being my preference). As far as Austrian beers go this is fantastic, Gusswerk has set the bar high! Recommended pairings: Zwiebelrostbraten or Hirschragout :)
