Elch-Bräu 1.21 Gigawatt Doppelbock Dunkel

Elch-Bräu 1.21 Gigwatt is potent 8€ Dunkler Doppelbock with some coffee and dark chocolate notes. It's a bit thin for the style and more reminiscent of a Baltic Porter.

Penning Kräusen

Penning Hetzelsdorfer Kräusen is a refreshing unfiltered fruity later with floral hops in the nose and citrus hops in the semi-dry palate. The finish is a touch bitter for my tastes but this an interesting mix of traditional Franconia and the Craft Beer wave finally hitting here.

Penning unfiltered Vollbier

Penning Hetzelsdorfer Lagerbier is one of the top beers in Franconia and this is an unfiltered version with a fruity palate and lingering semi-dry finish. This might not fit neatly into any category but it's what makes Franconia special.
