Schloss Eggenberg Urbock 23°

Brewed by Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg
Style: Doppelbock
Vorchdorf, Austria

Bottle: Amber pour with a thin beige head. Aroma is very fruity and sweet; strong presence of apple juice/cider. Tastes more malty and fruity into an earthy and floral medley. The fruit drys out a bit, leaving a mess of malt, earth, and floral. At least the mouthful is smooth. Not one of my favorites...

11.2 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark golden color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is honey, toasted malts and slight fruity notes. Taste is grainy, with notes of apple and toasted malts. Full bodied.

Apple cider aromas some honey, yeast, over all sweet on the nose. Pours blonde with a thin white head that doesn’t last, no carbonation visible in glass, but the bottle popped so there was pressure. Thick mouthfeel, sweet honey flavors, light fruits, light caramel, alcohol in the finish, barely carbonated.

330ml Bottle: Sweet aroma of Apples, fruit, slight alcohol, honey, slight wood, and yeast. Poured golden/yellow in color with no head. Hazy. Very sparkling. No lacing. Flavor is medium to heavily sweet. Tastes of fruit, wood, slight resin, slight tar, caramel, malts, slight tobacco, apples, grapes, hops, and yeast. Light to medium body. Lightly sticky, lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, fruity, apple and slight wood finish is dry.

Bottle. Poured a clear copper color with a frothy white head that didn’t last. Aroma of biscuit s and honey.Clean sweet flavor of caramel malts and honey. Not much hop presence. Also, maybe just a hint of the alcohol. Almost too sweet. But, not too heavy on the palate.

33cl bottle. It poured a golden colour with a small white foamly head that disappeared fast in the glass. The aroma is sweet with notes of honey and corn. It has a full and spicy flavour with notes of honey, corn, malts, alcohol and sweet, light caramel. It has a short aftertaste.

Dont know why it took me so long to review this one, Ive been picking away at a case of it I cellared some time ago and it gets better with a year or so of age on it. Pours a luxurious dark honey gold with a massive sticky white frothy cap. Aroma is sweet honey some wood and licorice fusel tone almost like a sweet brandy. Rich thick body produces a massive chew on toffee malts in the front, some smoky oak, apple. Then it seems to thin a bit as the finish reveals the alcohol in a licorice tang. Slightly complex, big full bodied , long-lagered beer that any beer drinker has to appreciate.

Sua espuma apresenta aparência inicial pequena, coloração branca e reduzidíssima longevidade. Observa-se virtualmente nenhuma formação de colarinho em seu corpo borbulhante, de rala densidade e coloração dourada. O delicioso aroma apresenta notas de maçã e cereja marrasquino em calda - farejei também a presença de brandy. O sabor inicial apresenta moderaço dulçor e leve amargor, sensação esta última que evolui para uma percepção moderada no final, este de média duração. Percebe-se, até mesmo devido aos seus 9,6% de teor alcoólico, um notável aquecimento alcoólico. Seu balanço dulçor/amargor é semelhante ao de sua congênere Paulaner Salvator. No paladar sorvi um corpo médio-leve, de textura seca, forte carbonatação e final de sensação levemente adstringente e também lembrando giz.
