Die Schwarze Kuh
Named after the Pinzgau organic cattle that eat the brewery's spent grain. Roast acidity, intense cocoa, peat smoke and liquorice in the nose; dense and full in the mouth with relaxed carbonation, then herbal bitterness, a surprisingly dry, bitter turn, very dark caramel, coffee and warming alcohol in the finish. 9.2% ABV, with ageing potential.
