hopIQ found 10 beers with the same toasty and nutty character as Festbier Das Besondere. An amber, red-gold seasonal brewed for the weeks around Christmas and built on 13.7 degrees Plato. The darker kilned malt gives toffee, toasted bread and a nutty depth with a hint of dried apricot, and stays in front throughout. Hallertauer Herkules, Tradition and Spalter Select set 20 IBU and a light floral edge. The body is full, the finish long and warming, drying only slightly at the very end. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
