Günther-Bräu Schwarzbier
Brewery: Günther-Bräu
Town: Burgkunstadt
Style: Schwarzbier 5.2%
Color: dark mahogany
Head: tan, creamy
Nose: roasty
Body: medium
Palate: balanced, malty, roasty, underlying hops
Finish: clean, semi-dry, semi-bitter
Served: from a bottle bought in Bayreuth
Impression: Picked this up despite their Landbier Dunkel being in the roasty Schwarzbier vein. It’s not generally my favorite style but this one I quite liked even though it’s in the classic mold. It’s a little lighter in color and body than is typical but it’s got a rounded malty palate with just enough roast. The finish is pretty clean and just dry enough. I could drink a few of these.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
