Yes, both Spezial "barrels" are fakes for tank or keg lines, or whatever Fred always clarifies them to be. None of the Bamberger brewery taverns does real gravity pour barrels any more, except Schlenkerla, right? That said, Spezial Märzen (Rauchbier) up at the Spezi-Keller is normally from big Holzfass under gravity...right?

Nevertheless, Spezial U can be absolutely fantastic or also not so wow-y, and it sounds like David found it on a good day. It's been a long time since I've found it to be anything less than really, really good.

Really glad Witzgall turned out to be fun and good, as well as the other places. I bet that Ayinger barrel is the best beer in Munich...brewed in or near Munich, anyway. It's been a long time since I've had it.

And FINALLY, somebody else figures out that Mönchsambacher Lager is meh. Very meh. Their keg Export is more interesting and characterful.
