Holidays in Austria with Zillertal Schwarze beer and music. A surprisingly refreshing beer delicacy comes from Tyrol. The insider tip for all beer connoisseurs: mahogany colors, with a delicate roasted malt character, noble hop note and wonderful aroma.
Merry Christmas.
Around May 2017 I bought 6 bottles of St Stefanus blonde beer. The plan was to see how it aged in the bottle over 18 months/ 2 years. I can’t believe that this beer is now two years old, where does the time go? I still have three bottles and I have been looking forward to trying it at the maximum recommended age. And here it is.....
The beer has darkened in colour quite considerably so that it’s now a burnt orange colour. The flavour has also changed quite dramatically. It started off fresh and fruity but we now have heavy autumn fruit flavours coming through. It’s much more well rounded. Stronger taste but smooth edges. It has also developed a very definite hint of banana! Mouthfeel is also much fuller and smoother.
I wondered if this was just a gimmick when I started the experiment almost two years ago. But the transformation in the bottle is very real.
This beer is now amazing and I am very pleased that I have continued collecting bottles so that I can continue to enjoy this beer at its very best when 2 years old.
cheers!
CB:Hi Julian So, to summarize : highly recommended
Duels:Oh yes.
Saint Beogrowler:Oh, that sounds and looks fantastic! And your new essence remote finally makes an appearance in the beer thread-
Saint Beogrowler:Here is a Norwegian IPA from a new brewery in my neighborhood. Yeast is from Norway and Simcoe hops. It’s nice, well mannered IPA.
Duels:Here is something special from the weekend...... Cherry and chocolate Belgian Quad from Petrus (with added nitro). Absolutely delicious.
Saint Beogrowler:Cherry chocolate and a quad! Seems that would take very careful balancing to make work well. I had a Petrus sour not too long ago that was quite nice. Speaking of, are you guys seeing sours absolutely everywhere these days? They use to be quite the irregular addition to a tap here. Every new brewery menu (our city is very pro-brewery and tap-room, so there are many new breweries) has something to the extent of: 3 IPAs, a house ale, a stout or porter, and a fruity sour.
