Aktienbraueri Kaufbeuren Jubiläums Pils 1907

Brewer - Aktienbraueri Kaufbeuren - Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, Germany
Style - Pilsner
Alcohol By Volume (ABV) - 4.9% (1pt .9oz bottle)

At first glance:
The second beer of the day at Stuffed Sandwich. After finishing my meal I asked Marlene for something on the light side to wash it all down with, and here is what I got. Its your classic German pilsner, not unlike a Budweiser, a style of beer which is known for its crisp and clean taste. Again not having a glass it was drank from the bottle so I'm guessing the color and head were of a very light golden hue.

At first nose:
It had a nice slight floral nose to it, a vast contrast to that of the porter. I didn't pick up on much else.

At first taste:
Wow, this beer is crisp and clean. It is almost tasteless but in the best way possible. Its exactly what I was looking for to wash down my heavy meal of french dip and porter.

Aftertaste:
There isn't one. It leaves the mouth feeling refreshed and clean, but wanting another drink.

Upon further inspection:
Not much. This is the kind of beer you would want to drink on a nice hot day to get refreshed. Though a bit low on the ABV index, it goes down so smooth you may find yourself quickly buzzed if you can get yourself a hold of a 12-pack.

Other Notes:
I think this may be my go to beer at the end of a Stuffed Sandwich visit. It was well worth it and the perfect recommendation from Marlene to wash everything down with.

Once again, check out Stuffed Sandwich, I guarantee you'll love it.

D. Carnegie & Co. Argang 2004 Stark Porter

Brewer - D. Carnegie & Co. - Stockholm, Sweeden
Style - Baltic Porter
Alcohol By Volume (ABV) - 5.5% (1pt .9oz bottle)

At first glance:
Here's the story; this was another trip to Stuffed Sandwich (the #9 place to drink a beer in the US, as according to BeerAdvocate.com), as Chris said before, we could do and whole article just on the place, hell most of my reviews are going to come from here. Anyway, this beer is the beer that inspired this weblog, so please forgive anything I leave out as I didn't really have a structure to go by. So back to the beer, after ordering a delicious french dip, I asked Sam for a nice porter and this is what he gave me.

At first nose:
It had a smokey nose to it with hints of coffee and maybe chocolate. A nice complement to the sandwich.

At first taste:
I didn't bring a glass, which I need to remind myself to do from now on, so I drank it straight from the bottle. It was strong, a little bitter with a solid coffee taste. It's a little more of a coffee note than i like, but it did go down rather smoothly.

Aftertaste:
With as strong as the nose and taste was it had a surprisingly light aftertaste of coffee and a little chocolate, a very good complement to the sandwich.

Upon further inspection:
A bit on the pricey side, but well worth it. Next time though, I'm bringing a glass so I can see the color and the head instead of drinking straight out of the bottle.

Other Notes:
I googled what "Argang 2004," turns out "argang" is Sweedish for "vintage." Not bad for a six year old beer. I know that the picture is of a '97, but its the best one i could find online.

Check out Stuffed Sandwich, I guarantee you'll love it.

Moosbacher Weissbier

Brewer - Moosebacher - Bavaria, Germany
Style - Wheat Beer/Weissbier
Alcohol By Volume (ABV) - 5.0% (1pt .9oz bottle)

At first glance:
Here's the story; this was my first visit to Stuffed Sandwich (the #9 place to drink a beer in the US, as according to BeerAdvocate.com). I could probably just do a separate write-up on that place, easily. Ok, I will. Well, when I stepped in, I ordered my food (Whole Pastrami, Pickles and cup of Cheeseburger Soup) then talked to Marlene about what I wanted to drink. They have over 700 beers to choose from, so I asked for something to go with my food. She recommended a wheat beer, and I said I want something that I've never seen before. So it begins...

At first nose:
This wheat beer had a great sweet scent to it, almost reminded me of an apple cider. I couldn't pull my nose out of it, but had to have that first taste. Let's get to that.

At first taste:
After my pour, I had to sit tight, through lots of head. I nosed it a bit more and finally got my first taste. It was well worth the wait. If there is one word for Moosbacher Weissbier, it would be "smooth", this beer is smooth as can be, so generously smooth, it went down like water (though, not in the taste department, of course).

Aftertaste:
Light, unobtrusive, lends well to a meal. I can even see a brew like this going well with dessert, as it doesn't interfere with what you eat.

Upon further inspection:
This wheat beer feels lighter than a lot of the domestic wheat brews, that makes me surprised that Moosbacher also provides a light version of this beer. Serve this bottle cold, with an equally cold glass, still this will be enjoyable getting towards room temperature.

Other Notes:
It has a generous amount of rich, dark sediment at the bottom of the glass. That'll let you know you'd picked a worthy brew.

Check out Stuffed Sandwich, I guarantee you'll love it.
