Based on my notes from my Oct 2007 trip.

Serving Vom Fass – on tap at the brewery restaurant. Served in a 500 ml glass mug. “Seidla”.

Color – Medium amber appearance. Good head of foam peaking over the glass – about 2 inches.

Smell - slight smoke like bacon or ham, faint noble hop aroma.

Taste - delicate smokiness, clean flavors that you’d expect from a lager.

Mouthfeel – very well balanced - the natural carbonation produced “microbubbles” that contributed to a very nice mouthfeel.

Drinkability. This is very drinkable for a smoked beer.

Serving type: on-tap

Visited Drei Kronen on 27SEP09 for lunch and some bier... An unbelievably fantastic Käsespätzle was accompanied by two 0.5l glasses of Stöffla.

My glass contained an attractive, clear, chestnut-hued bier. A creamy beige head leaves solid lacing behind while maintaining decent cover for the liquid. Has a lovely rauch aroma; nothing Schlenkerla-like, but solid, and suggests dryness. Passes smoothly with a velvet touch on the tongue, yet it is not quite medium in body.

Some toasty malt and light caramel first hit the palate. Following shortly dryness kicks in with the not-so-subtle rauch character. An ever-so-light, floral hop hit at the end maintains a semblance of balance. A nice bier; quite easy drinking. Zum Wohl!!
