Schreckenskammer Kölsch

500 ml bottle. Pours light golden with a small white head. Weak sweet malty aroma. Taste is almost, but only almost on the sweet side, but there’s enough hop to balance it quite well and make it dry at the end.

Bottled 50cl. It pours a clear pale golden beer with a tall, creamy, nicely remaining lacing white head- beautiful appearance. Good hop profile in the aroma where hints of lime, lemongrass and vanilla emerge. Crisp taste with hints of gooseberries and lemongrass. Nice bitterness. Subtle carbonation. White bread and faint lime showing up. Slightly yeasty. Deeply pleasant long dry finish which is reminiscent of lemongrass. A top notch Kölsch. I really liked this one.

500 ml bottle. Köln, Germany. Clear golden colour with small white head. Malty aroma. Maltiness also in flavour. Some hoppiness too. Somewhat balanced but slightly weak and soft flavourwise.

Draught at Schreckenskammer. This beer is reportedly now brewed at Dom, which clearly shows on the results It comes clear golden with creamy head. Fruity and rather sweet, a whiff of boiled vegetables lures behind. Rounded with fairly low hop rate. Slight salty bitterness. Though softness lifts it, and it’s far from being a bad beer, there are no real point in drinking it anymore. Go elsewhere for real kölsch.
