Vicedominator

Tap to rate

Malt aromas, sweetness and a smoky note on the nose, then a rounded, full-bodied taste. Mousse-like on the palate, it closes finely bitter. Before the Vitzthum family, Max Grämiller is recorded as owner from 1770 and Josef Schmerold from 1835. The brewery now turns out about 19,000 hectolitres a year.

◐ Taste

The palate arrives full and rounded, with substantial malt presence delivering toffee and bread-crust flavors. The smoky character intensifies mid-palate, creating a savory counterpoint to residual sweetness. A fine, clean bitterness emerges in the finish, balancing the malt sweetness without harshness.
