Magisterbräu

Tap to rate

A black lager from Scheibenberg: a strong, spicy malt aroma and a roasty taste meet an accentuated hop note (4.7 % ABV, 11.5 °P). Five different malts go into the beer. Magisterbräu is brewed from Saxon barley malt, Hallertau hops and soft water from the brewery's own well in the Ore Mountains. It is bottled unpasteurised.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted grain and cocoa, underscored by a spicy malt complexity from the multi-malt foundation. Noble hop character emerges with herbal and floral notes, adding lift and freshness without dominance. A subtle dark-fruit undertone—plum, perhaps—rounds the bouquet.

◐ Taste

Roasted and malty flavours command the palate, with coffee and dark-chocolate notes developing mid-sip. The accentuated hop bitterness (25 IBU) remains restrained, offering herbal and earthy support rather than aggression. Clean, smooth drinking is maintained throughout, with crisp edges that prevent heaviness.
