Commercial Description:
The bottom fermented, dark Gösser Stiftsbräu is brewed according to old, inherited traditions. With a smoky, roasted nose and a thick and creamy taste on the palate, Stiftsbräu is a sophisticated delight for lovers of a slightly sweet, dark beer. The overall impression that Stiftsbräu creates is one of great harmony and well roundedness.

Sampled in Switzerland. Pour is dark and thick but aroma is slightly unpleasant. Goes down smooth and has a nice flavor. I had better beers but its the best austrian i have ever had.

12 oz bottle poured into a goblet glass. Pours with a decent head that quickly fades. Color is dark brown, medium clarity in the body. Aroma is pretty strong for a dunkel, full of roastiness and chocolate. Taste is clean with hints of roastiness, like a lagered light mild all the way. Creamy aftertaste with light malty sweetness. There is absolutely nothing off putting here, the beer seems to have been well conditioned. Just a nice sessionable beer.

Draft. Light aroma of roasted malt. Similar flavor. Pleasant and very drinkable, but not much flavor. Good with food.

Bottle: Transparent brown pour with a modest beige head. Aroma is malty and caramel sweet. Taste is more matly, light roast, caramel, earth tones, hints of grain, and a tiny bit of chocolate. Medium bodied and has a nice creamy feel. Not bad at all.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee and a bit of caramel. Flavor is sweet with roasted malt and a light roasty bitterness. A medium body, feels a bit too thin.

Nothing but a slightly malty German dark beer. Refreshing, medium bodied with a watery finish.

(Bottle BBE 05/2007; Thanks Jay!) Malty and slightly chocolate aroma with a hint of caramel. Dark red brown colour and average size, light brown, more or less fully diminishing head with a hint of lacing. Sweet, malty, slightly roasted, slightly caramel and slightly chocolate flavour. Softly carbonated, medium bodied and dry palate. Gösser Stiftsbräu is a good dunkel! 28/01/07

12oz bottle.
Pours a solid dark chestnut brown; thin white head recedes to a ring that leaves strings of lace on the sides of the glass.Aroma is dry lightly toasted grain, modest but spicy hops, licorice, and a whiff of smooth alcohol that suggests a higher ABV than its stated 4.5%. Flavor starts out a bit weak and watery, but then the intensity quickly builds: toasty grains, crisp moderate hop bitterness, herbal, lightly spicy, and a solid but not intrusive sweet malt backbone. Medium-full mouthfeel with a smooth, almost creamy palate. A small burst of toasted-grain dryness accomanies the swallow as it goes down. This here is a pretty sharp dunkel, especialy from a no-frills brewery.
