En fût. Bock de 1 litre, partagée avec des amis, dégusté au AnnaFest 2011 (Forcheim, Allemagne). Arôme: Légère odeur de caramel fruité et d’épices. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée foncée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréales grillées avec une pointe de caramel et d’épices. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de céréales grillées en arrière goût. (Rating #3826)

My Bottom Line :
Distinctively earthy, this full-bodied Festbier also differentiates itself from the rest with its lightly toasted and caramelized flavors.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-A veil of foam tops the krug; upon its partial disappearance, the liquid reveals its darker colour than other Festbiers at the Annafest.
-The hops weren’t as important in this one’s flavor profile; they do contribute wooden hop bitterness though.
-The malt signature has lots of character. I’d like to know what they do at Hebendanz because they sure aren’t getting typical flavors from their grain.
-Like many Annafestbiers, this wasn’t too easy-drinking, but its rough personality and soft, full mouthfeel were both quite engaging.
