Slabs of basalt were heated to more than 1000F to create the boil for this bold, true steinbier. While maintaining a fresh hop presence, it's actually the warm sugared nut flavors that become the most pleasing, prominent and robust aspect of the beer. A refreshing vegetal greenness plays second fiddle, but provides balance and added complexity. A seldom produced and fascinating style of beer, this example was made by using intensely authentic and labor intensive methods and succeeds as a standout beer in terms of taste and homage.
