Eisenbahn Wiesenbock

8% alc/vol

Brazil

$6 per bottle

I have only tried 6 beers from the range and I believe there are about 10 more to try, as well as a beer likor (fortified beer)

Eisenbahn is a small brewery in Brazil that follows the Reinheirsgebot (a german law of brewing created in 1516 stating the only ingredients that could be used in the production of beer were water, barley and hops) 

The name (which means railroad in German) refers to an old railway station that is close to the building now used by the brewery as a bar.

Anyway, that's enough history. The beer is a cracker, you'd never know it was 8% alcohol. It has caramel, malt, and chocolate on the nose, and a very rich round fruit cake palate. I don't suspect you'd be able to have too many of these in one night but what a fantastic beer. I urge you all to seek these beers out and give them a go.

On another note, the importer for Eisenbahn is the same company that brings in Meantime. Definitely switched on, I look forward to seeing what they get their hands on next.
