Mahrs Bräu Jubelfestbier

Brewed by Mahrs Bräu
Style: Dunkel
Bamberg, Oberfranken/Bayern, Germany

Bottle courtesy Degarth. Pours a clear dark brown with ruby highlights and a small off-white head. Aroma of tea and caramel. Taste is astringent tea. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. This bottle was past its prime.

Aroma is a big gust of candy, some brown sugar and malt, garnet, wears a tiny toffee head. Taste is full roast malts, almost like malt/maple syrup. Medium bodied, sweet and mellow. Very nice. Thanks Radek.

500ml bottle. Thick, amber-mahogany color with a huge. lasting head. Taste is very mellow, with mild chocolate and caramel notes being the backbone of the beer. Very smooth and drinkable, a great lager. The aroma is nice and fresh with a light herbal touch to it. A very sublime, quality beer.

A very dark brown with a medium foamy tan head. Dark malts, mostly coffee dry/bitterness, some milk chocolate, not a much hops present. Like a very watery porter, still a really nice smooth flavor though. Some woodiness. Body is medium flat. Very dark dunkel.

Swing top 500ml
Appearance: Brown , dark brew with light copper sipping trough. Medium , presentable white top.
Nose : Neat , fresh light brown malts , god dose of continental mineral sided hops. Slight scent of alcohol. Lighter yet positive clean impression was made.
Flavor/Palate : Smooth , gentle dunkel palate. Mineral swiftness with mocha chocolate pairing. Lightly roasted malts with some bittering effect. Quiet good.

Pours a very thick foamy tannish colored head. Beer itself is dark brown. Aroma not very prevalent. Perhaps that of slightly wet newspaper. Fairly high in carbonation with brown malts on in the flavor. Flavors open up slightly after bottle has been open and beer has a chance to warm up a little. Typical thin body of a germanic brew. It was on the close-out rack at Bevmo for $2/btl. Kind makes me wish I’d bought more.

Bottled. Poured a warm, deeper, garnet-tinted brown with a creamy cap of beige head.. perfect for the style! The aroma is sweeter with dusty cocoa, a touch of molasses, and accents of dry herbal and floral notes.. well-presented. The flavor had sweeter chocolate and toasted nutty notes at the core with very light herbal and coffee bitterness surrounding.. drier and good for the style, but it’s just not a great style. Lighter-bodied and free-flowing on the palate, leaving a dry impression.. lightly-toasted. This was a very solid brew!
