| Thought I'd sent this before but it hasn't appeared! Anyway, yes, Held Dunkel was really tasty. Should have said a bit more about Schroll (Juergen's favourite, I think) Dunkel, which is really ineresting. Not too dark but with a unique, quite iron-y taste - sounds a bit unpleasant but it is very nice. The Helles was quite good and quite different from the Dunkel - ok, it should be but often beers from the same brewery have something in common. For example, IMHO, Neder's Schwarze Anna is like a Dunkles version of their Fassbier. Only had Ott Dunkles - is that the Export, don't think so. Toilet Cleaner aromas at Heckel? From the beer or the loos? Well certainly not the beer! I mentioned that it was a bit gass, but, after a period in which all the beers were either U or the pubs (E.g. Wagner, Goeller and Hummer) had got the balance just right, we've hit a spell of quite gassy beers. Surprisingly, one of these was the U (and the Rauch) in Spezial. Remembering how good it was in September during a session with Frank and Nick, I was really surprised to find n overload of carbonic acid on Tuesday - really disappointing. Today was our cultural outing - a visit to the Museum of Industrial Culture in Nurnberg . - very worthwhile and educational: never knew that Birmingham motorcycle manufacturer had a factory in Nurnberg and whatever happened to Zundapp? There were loads of their motor bikes. Anyway, finished in time to fit in a visit Schanzenbrau. I think that I enjoyed it more than last year, although the beer was a bit gassy again. J. really liked the Rotbier and I thought the Schwarz was pretty decent. |
