Impression: I found this an unusual beer to have at a Bierkeller in summer. A friend had mentioned they had it the last time he was there and we were talking about it while at Hermann’s Keller in nearby Ampferbach and decided to head back to the Schwanakeller to have one. I like the style but they vary greatly not only in quality but also in what the brewer is going for. This one was quite full of banana but I still found it dangerously drinkable and the dried fruit coming out in the finish made it one I’d seek out again, though hopefully at a cooler time of year.

Next beer or back to the beer list.
