The house beer at Bierothek® Leipzig is a wonderfully dark coffee stout that takes its name Frege Carbon from the so-called Fregehaus in Leipzig. The venerable building was built in the 16th century, later renovated in Baroque style and over the years has housed a merchant family, a private bank, a trading company and the Leipzig monument preservation department. Today there is a hotel and the Leipziger Bierothek® in the baroque townhouse.
The second part of the name refers to the special ingredient that makes the stout a coffee stout: coffee. Black as night, the beer has truly earned the title “carbon”. The coffee used comes from a Leipzig roastery and is brewed in the form of roasted beans. It not only gives the beer its name, but also its wonderfully dark color and a palette of delicious coffee and roasted notes.
The Frege carbon flows into the glass in a deep black mahogany tone, as expected, and forms a beautiful, slightly tinted head of foam. A fabulous scent of freshly roasted coffee beans, caramelized malt and delicately melting chocolate rises from the persistent foam. The initial taste reveals a full-bodied beer with sparkling carbon dioxide and a cornucopia of dark aromas. A strong roasted malt note caresses the palate, while fine chocolate notes add a soft sweetness. The coffee gives the beer a fruity tartness and a delicate bitterness. The finish is delicately balanced and tastes strongly of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee.
A delicious coffee stout that you definitely have to try!
