In previous posts I have called Schloss Eggenberg by the name Castle Brewery. Schloss Eggenberg has been brewing commercially since 1681 in Austria. Schloss Eggenberg are currently under the Castle Brewery, but I am not sure if that is the same Castle Brewery that falls under SABMiller. Sorry about the confusion.
This beer has an aged beer aroma of raisins or dark pit fruit. The color is a light brown or dark yellow. The head pours well, but does not last long. This beer has some thick bits of sediment floating around.
The taste is sweet with a brown sugar taste, and a bit of raisin flavor. There is also an aged beer, root cellar taste. With all the aged beer flavors there is a slight malted grain taste to add some complexity. The mouthfeel is thick and smooth adding to the sweet tastes from before. The finish is sweet with some alcohol burning.
This is a pretty good beer. I've been less than happy with many offerings from this brewery and this is a nice change. There is a lot of sweet taste in this beer, but it is still enjoyable.
