Linzer Stout
Deep black with a creamy head and intense roasted notes that recall chocolate and coffee. The mouthfeel is velvety, the hop bitterness firm and the finish elegant and pleasantly dry. A stout in British tradition, it opened the four specialities of 2026 at the Biernissage on 18 March 2026, with a label design from a student competition at the Kunstuniversität Linz.
