Malzmühle Koch’sches Malzbier

Brewed by Malzmühle Brauerei Schwartz
Style: Low Alcohol
Köln, Germany

From tap at the brewpub. Pours dark brown with a quickly gone tan head. Aroma is sweet malty, light breadish touch. Sweet caramel malty. Sweet lingering and roasted flavoured finish. Vague diacetyl touch to a the raisin sweetness.

Draught, 2% at the brewpub. Caramelly and buttery aroma, quite nice. Almost black colour, seems clear. Stable light brown head. The flavour is quite sweet with lots of brown sugar notes. Distinguished from other beers of the style by a subtle spicy hoppiness, which helps to balance the sweetness ever so slightly. Quite nice.

Reddish brown pour covered by a fair off-white head. Caramelly nose with cherry coke notes and a certain biscuity character that feels more malty than any of the other malzbier I’ve had. Unagressive carbonation, juicy, fruity palate with enough acidity to keep in check. A fine example of a style that serves a noble purpose!

draught@brewery - pours a very dark brown colour with no head retention; aroma of corn and sweet malts, a touch of chocolate too; very sweet with a light malt body; residual sugars and notes of malt and cola in the finish

Draught at Brauerie zur Malzmuhle, Cologne, 200ml, Filtered. Dark brown colour, tan head. How I ended up with this beer I don’t know, high caramel, toffee flavour, sweet and thick with a touch of coffee. More like liqued fudge than anything.

Bottle: Deep ruby-amber coloured, fluffy beige loose head; moderate fruity (berries), coffeeish and sweet nose; moderate sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; short sweet coffeeish finish. Not bad and far better than an average "low-alcohol".....

Bottled. Strong sweet butterscotch aroma. Very dark ruby color, brown head, very nice lace. Extremely sweet caramel start but soon less sweet, nice burnt malts, butterscotch, black tea in the very finish, light dry, almost syrupy. More like the Dutch Oud Bruin than the standard Geman Malz ’beers’.

Draught, Malzmühle, Köln. Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting. Body is dark brown to black. Aroma is moderately malty (burnt caramel, molasses, cereal, nuts), lightly yeasty (dough), with a light note of raisin. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, soft carbonation. I felt stupid even ordering this, but all in all it’s not bad for a malt. Barley’s answer to soda pop.
