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°

"pours a dark ruby color. Aroma was of roasted malts and chocolate can carmel. A little thin but tasted of chocolate and carmel, has a little bit of a bitter finish to it."

330ml bottle. A nice little surprise. Had seen it at local bottleshop many times but always passed it up until one day I thought I would give it a go. Poured a thick black colour like old motor oil. Small off white head that quickly vaishes. Aroma of burnt toffee with with a good strong flavour of chocolate & toffee.

dreamloomer (66) - Warsaw, POLAND - AUG 7, 2010
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.

nearly opaque mahogany with a few bubbles on top; Medium body with medium-high carbonation.

Aroma: sweet bready dark malt, woody tobacco hops, mild alcohol, and hints of dark fruit.

Taste: very mild, some dark-roasted grainy malt, mineral water, hints of cola and sweet coffee,, and just enough hop bitterness to balance.

Draft in Salzburg, Austria. As ’Gosser Schwarzbier’. Very dark beer with a frothy head. Smooth and light - not at all bitter. Very gentle coffee malt notes and distinct walnuts. Smooth dry finish. Lovely fresh tasty beer.

kwoeltje (1851) - Manchester, Missouri, USA - OCT 14, 2003
(draught at the Yard House in San Diego) deep, deep brown with small tan head. Rich malt aroma. Smooth, sweet malt flavor. I first had this over 20 years ago in Austria--it's as good as I remember it being.

detroiter (958) - Euphoria, Minnesota, USA - JAN 13, 2007
Poured into the tall cylindrical thick-walled heavy Gosser glass, it was a very clear brown with a good 1.5" head that stuck around. Smelled pretty good, somewhat chocolatey. Nice smooth mellow sweet malt, with chocolate and toffee and some roasted grains. Hops were noticeable and nicely balanced the sweetness. Lots of body, expecting much less I was pleasantly surprised.
