As you can tell from the stately name, Georg I is a very royal, special beer. The Imperial Flavored Stout is a hybrid of beer and wine.
To make such a majestic beer, you need to use a beer with an intense flavor and a high-quality wine. In the case of George I, a rich imperial stout was married with a cuvée of three grape varieties. The red wine used is a symposium of Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon and is characterized by its wonderful intensity.
Georg I. flows into the glass in an elegant deep black and forms a fine, hazelnut-brown head of foam. When exposed to light, the black beer shows great color reflections in all facets of mahogany. When George I opens the bottle, he exudes a wonderful potpourri of different scents. The aroma of a dry red wine meets delicately melting chocolate, still warm currant jam, red grapes and ripe blackberries on the nose. A touch of coffee complements the lovely mixture and makes you look forward to the first sip. This reveals a cornucopia of dark aromas. Wine and malt combine to create a delicate composition that delights with fruity, subtly smoky and full-bodied sweet elements. In the finish, Georg I. shows a woody dryness that, together with the fruitiness of sweet, dark berries, creates a finish that stays on your tongue and in your head for a long time.
Georg I. is an extraordinary beer that you definitely have to try if you like to drink a glass of wine in addition to beer!
