A respecable Salonbeer - Dampfe Salonbier
Borbecker Dunkles Salonbier
While celebrating a friend's birthday in the pub "Dampfe" we had the chance to taste some of their beers. I started with the Salonbier, which is classified as a Dunkles. I'm not sure about that as the colour was amber and it smelled like malt with caramel and fatty acid. Perhaps we consider it as a special Dunkles. Anyway - the foam stability was very good. The smell and taste worked well together. Due to the strong malty character and the high alcohol content the bitterness of this beer is lower than in a Pils.
It's a well balanced beer, not to fuzzy not to dry which makes you going for more.
The beer was poured from a keg
