Tasting Notes:
Wild Rose Keller Beer -- B minus
Mahrs Pilsner -- simple, clean, crisp
Mahrs Ungespundet -- also simple, lager
(but excellent food -- fresh pfifferlingen (mushrooms) with
veal sweetmeats in cream sauce over tagliatelle above)
Spezial Keller Beer (self service out of plastic kegs, not all that
interesting
-- get one from a waiter so you get it from wood -- should be better)
At Spezial Brewery:
Ungespundets -- sweet and malty
Rauchlager -- moderately smoked, very drinkable but also complex
Weiss -- very neiss, caramel, light citrus at end
Marzen (Rauch) sharper darker and stronger smoke than lager
Schwanen Brau, Ebings
Dunkels -- nice malt, a little sweet. Good breakfast beer.
Zwickel -- hint of sweet, hop bite, light
Goller
Hefeweizen -- very nice, creamy, clove and banana

and bitterness.
(also good food, had shislick -- smoked pork kebob with bacon, liver
and onions
in paprika herb sauce)
