Eiskeller

Tap to rate

Fine caramel and roasted notes from three specialty malts meet a lightly bitter hop note. Eiskeller is a hazy, amber Kellerbier with a robust body (12.8% original gravity, 5.4% ABV), matured near freezing point. The name recalls the brewery's ice cellar, where natural ice was once stored, and the beer returns only seasonally.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Eiskeller

Eiskeller presents a hazy, amber body with visible suspended matter characteristic of its Kellerbier style. The head is modest but persistent, with delicate lacing that clings to the glass. The haziness at 90% opacity signals an unfiltered, naturally cloudy presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted grain notes and subtle caramel sweetness derived from the three specialty malts. A light, clean hop character emerges behind the malt foundation, offering herbal restraint rather than assertiveness. The overall bouquet is earthy and bread-forward, with no sharp edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and rounded, with roasted grain and caramel flavours developing across the mid-palate. The robust original gravity (12.8°P) supports a malty backbone that finishes with a moderate, clean bitterness (25 IBU). Hop expression remains restrained, allowing the specialty malt complexity to remain central.
