Dampflokbier

Tap to rate

A dark specialty brewed to 11.5 °P and 4.7 % ABV, with a pleasant, full-bodied malt aroma. A special malt blend and the brewery's Ore Mountains spring water give it its easy-drinking character. Dampflokbier comes from the family brewery in Scheibenberg, where Christian Fiedler restarted brewing in 1991. It is bottled unpasteurised.

The unpasteurized character imparts a subtle yeasty earthiness that adds complexity without dominating the bouquet.
