COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The bottom fermented, dark Gösser Stiftsbräu is brewed according to old, inherited traditions. With a smoky, roasted nose and a thick and creamy taste on the palate, Stiftsbräu is a sophisticated delight for lovers of a slightly sweet, dark beer. The overall impression that Stiftsbräu creates is one of great harmony and well roundedness. 11.8°

Muggus69 (854) - Newcastle, NSW, AUSTRALIA - AUG 16, 2008
330ml bottle, BB 10 2007...luckily it was a freebie! Dark brown body with ruby highlights, small persistant offwhite head atop. Roasted malt nose, nuts, toffee, dark chocolate, brown sugar with a bit of dried fruit in there for good measure. Reasonably lean body, creamy carbonation, smooth texture, drying but not as much as you would expect from a beer of this colour. Smooth body packed full of delicous malt flavours nut and chocolate seem prominant, has a slight toffee sweetness, with hints of prunes, bread and coffee. Finish is quite abrupt, not overly bitter. Particularly nice and approachable dark beer.

pivnizub (7022) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - AUG 10, 2008
Bottle: Ruby-amber coloured, firm, creamy off-white head; distinctive aroma of dried fruits, backed by malt and molasses; sweet flavour, light bodied; mild sweet-fruity finish with a bit of salt in the aftertaste. A two-times diluted Doppelbock, still tasty......

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - AUG 2, 2008
UPDATED: AUG 4, 2008 Bottle, Rogoznica, HR. Nose of brine, figgy dried fruit, almost rauch-like smoked waxiness and cocoa. That’s an 8. Beige on mahogany, with ruby flashes. Laces beautifully. This is a smooth, chocolatey dunkel with bags of smoked malt character approaching rauchbier status, and at least as good as the Lasko Temno.

elihapa (1369) - Honolulu, Hawaii, USA - AUG 2, 2008
On tap, yard house. Pours a dark brown, with touches of violet. Aroma of malts, some wood and caramel. Flavor is subdued, and slightly sweet. Definitely taste the malt-heavy flavors here, maybe some raisins and soil as well. Overall, pretty solid. But halfway through a pint, I was a little bored.

Bottle. Poured dark brown with medium obb white head. Aroma of malt and a little hop. Sweet malt flavour, but not over-sweet., with caramel notes. Carmel and a little cocoa in the finish.

Had at Gurtel Brau in vienna on 7/1. Pours dark aramel colore with a smallish white head. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel, and cocoa. Flavor is sweet, but not sickly sweet. Very drinkable, if unexciting, beer.
