#69 Prince Dafe

Why did you choose this style of beer and what is special about your recipe?

Personally, I find dark beers extremely tasty, the aromas and color nuances of these beers are simply fantastic. Many people know dark beer types like Stout and Porter from England, but the German Schwarzbier, originally from East Germany, has unfortunately been forgotten. Nowadays, Schwarzbier in Germany mainly comes from Thuringia and Franconia. That is why two different styles have developed here. "Prinz Dafe" is reminiscent of the classic

Franconian dark beer. Selected special malts and three proven high-quality German hops are combined. The special feature is the high alcohol content. Around 8% alcohol highlights the variety of aromas in this beer, it is a very special drink.

How would you describe the taste and how does the name fit?

“Prinz Dafe” is a dark beer bock with a high alcohol content, you can expect a pronounced malt body and a fine, sparkling mouthfeel. A little sweeter and less dry than the East German dark beer variant. The emphasis is clearly on a select selection of special malts to create the color, foam and taste of the beer. The special thing about this brewmaster edition is the combination with flavors from Nigeria. Coffee and cocoa from the roasted malt, passion fruit, orange and pineapple from the hops create a unique blend that makes the beer simply

Make it "royal".

What occasion is this beer suitable for?

Winter is here, you've just come in from outside, it's cold and wet and uncomfortable. Lie down in front of the fireplace, meet up with your family, eat a hearty braised dish, pour yourself "Prince Dafe" in a good red wine or tasting glass, let yourself be warmed from the inside and dream of wild coasts, tropical beaches and dense jungle. And for dessert, have a very dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.

Pro tip: This beer is great for cooking and desserts.
