This Breslau-style Dark Schoeps beer is lagered in Apple Brandy barrels and brewed in collaboration with Dead Language Beer Project.
This ale has notes of pie crust, apple crumble, fresh apple cider and sticky toffee pudding. It is soft, complex and perfect for a cold winter night!
Schoeps was a wheat beer brewed as early as the 14th Century in the area of Breslau (Poland). It was crafted with a majority of malted wheat, a neutral ale yeast, such as kolsch yeast and classic noble hops.

I am sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can poured into my snifter. I purchased the beer at the brewery yesterday during the release weekend.
The beer pours a deep, rich chestnut color with some ruby highlights exposed when held to a light source.
A dense creamy beige head of 1.5 cm foams up. This foam fades to a sturdy edging that remains through sampling, and creates some scattered lacing on sips from my glass.
Aroma is brown sugar, dark bread, some definite apple brandy sweetness and a little toffee. No hops and not boozy at all. Definitely sweeter aroma.
First sip reveals a medium body with smooth texture , very fine and prickly carbonation and overall the beer drinks pretty easy.
Flavor is similar to what the nose advertises with some light brown sugar and dark bread with general maltiness. The apple brandy shines through and carries into the finish. there is a a little bit of peppery bite on the finish , which I attribute to the ABV or maybe the barrel. Finish is also surprisingly dry.
Im really enjoying this beer and would gladly drink more and buy again. Easily worth the drink!
