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°

Deep amber brown with off white head that sinks fairly quickly. Smell of plum/raisin, malt and caramel. Tastes like nothing special. A bit of bitterness that carries into the palate and very little flavor. Disappointing.

It was a good beer. I don’t think it is Austria’s finest like they say. I had a couple better when I was in Ischgal. Still is a very good beer though. I will probably buy more. Hard to find good beer here. I think warsteiner Dunkel is better though.

The malt is a bit sweeter than I normally prefer, and I was expecting a more smoky bock tasting finish. However, this is a good tasting light bodied dark that is very smooth. I even found sweet nature of this beer was more pleasant and inviting after one or two. I’m sure Gosser and I will have another go at it again.

Drank as Gösser Dark. Cola-like colour. Strong aroma, with fresh hops and a bit of roasty and caramel notes. Very full taste. The first impression is caramelly dryness, then hoppiness with a bit of malt and finally the roasty bitterness in the aftertaste.

marcusm (55) - Remich, LUXEMBOURG - JUL 20, 2004
Draught version tried at the Brewery tap A Brown beer with little head retention, aroma of caramel. A solid flavour of chocolate malt and caramel with light hopping. The taste does linger but is not a complex one. The bottled version is slightly sweeter but with a pronounced CO2 bite.

Smooth, easy drinking dark. Subtle dunkel flavor, almost as if it’s missing something

This is a nice beer which secured its place in my top 10., Its full of flavour and aroma. For its 4.5% it surely doesn’t feel weak. Well balanced. As mentioned before it goes well with a dinner
