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°

On tap. Pour is deep ruby to brown in color with a small off white head. The aroma barely exists, so i can’t tell what it consists of. Flavor is sweet with a hint of roasted malt. It’s hard to describe, but there is something very unlikable about the flavor. Not my beer.

BBB63 (4939) - La Porte, Indiana, USA - AUG 8, 2010
Bottle (Gösser Dark) and served in pint glass: Pours a mahogany hue with a fading frothy head and almost no lace. The aroma has notes of crystal, chocolate, smoky and bready malts. Hints of juicy fruit gum and some mild peppery vapours. The taste is rather straight forward malty sweetness that is close to becoming cloy. A bit of dark fruit, smoke and spice is the only level of complexity this brew offers. There is also a bit of a skunked and sourness character that is less than ideal. The mouth feel is smooth and slightly creamy but there is a soapy tone upon the finish that is disturbing. While never offensive there is also very little to like about this bier, even at it’s moderate price for an import I will not buy this again.
