Barnikel (again)
Posted by Ben R on 2012-08-27 23:43:15
I'm a big fan of dark beers, and while this one is not the smoothest at times, I enjoy it's pronounced coffee/malty character. The bock beer they serve is also quite delicious with a slight smokey finish. Food-wise, I've had better, but then again I have not experienced any of their Sunday menus or the recent string of Brotzeiten that they just completed. While the beer is admittedly not the best, in comparison to the other three that I listed, the environment itself makes a huge difference for me. The place is really old and with the oven on in the winter, it's not a bad place to hole up inside of. It's definitely rustic, perhaps even bordering on uncomfortably provincial, but I enjoy the kinds of places where time appears to have stood still. Are there any other similar breweries that you could recommend with a similar beer sampling/setting that I might be able to try? Thanks!
