Schneider Weisse Tap X Mein Cuvée Barrique
In 2010 Hans-Peter Drexler started a new project: maturing some of his finest beers in wine barrels. He enjoyed the expertise of brewmaster Jérôme de Rebetez from Brasserie des Franches Montagnes in Switzerland who grew up in a wine producing family. Thus, they created delicious new beer aromes.
Mein Barrique Cuvée welcomes you with a fruity nose reminding of fighs and dried pears. On your palate you meet cherries, balanced by a hint of vanilla and chocolate and a pleasantly sour and liquorice taste. A warming well-balanced Cuvée with a long, dry finish - just like a good red wine.

Picked this up from Schneider Weisse, Kelheim 2016 Bottle. Drank this at home Sunday 25th October 2020 after a 56km cycle ride from home to Eitting and back. Woah....this is like a Flanders red, so, so tart and sour, the head disappeared in a millisecond. Wet woodiness on the nose, fruity with redcurrants, dry, really dry. A little funky, bretty, but this is good, really good, but really not what I was expecting.
0,75 l Flasche, Limited Edition 2016. Braunes Bier, cremefarbener Schaum. Riecht säuerlich, nach Rotwein. Schmeckt auch säuerlich, Sauerkirschen, ganz leichte Hefe im Abgang.
375ml limited edition bottle. Pours a dark brown with hints of burgundy red and with no head. Very low carbonation. Delicious slightly sour taste with notes of red wine vinegar and sour red fruit. Hints of aged wheat beer. Really delicious and with excellent mouthfeel. A unique and very complex taste. I would highly recommend trying this very special beer!
Bottled, huge thanks Fila! Murky brown body. Juicy fruity aroma, grapes, berries, solid maltiness. Juicy, tart grape and malt-driven taste, lightly funky, otherwise fairly clean, ending tart and dry. Very much well balanced and tasty.
Impensable que de dues birres impressionants surti algo així... Àcida, cabezona i amb el millor de Tap 6 i Eissbock totalment amagat. Aire sour que destrossa totalment les 2 cerveses. Ampolla de 75 cl que acaba per la aigüera...
Pours clear deep dark brown, no foam whatsoever, no CO2. Aroma is fruity, nutty, nice. Taste is woody, fruity again. Nice one. (Arnhem 202007)
0.375 l bottle shared with Pliš. 2016. BBF 20. 01. 21. Huge thanks for the idea to share this one. Hazy dark amber to brown, small off-white head. Aroma is surprisingly fruity, heaps of blackcurrant, sour cherry and dark berries. Very interesting wild quality. Vinous. Some barrel. Some roast. Cherry brandy. Not so rich in flavour, alcohol hidden. Sour, sharp, very tart finish. Aggressive tannins. Light finish. Unusual and interesting.
Slowly sour with a bite; mild otherwise
Af en toe trek ik nog eel eens een oude bekende open om te zien wat de tijd heeft gedaan, in 2014 een 4.1 gegeven, zou nu minder krijgen, ok
2016
Pours a beautiful translucent brown/copper. No head, carbonation or lacing. Tart on the nose, with red wine, sour cherry and caramel aroma. Tastes tart as well, thinner body than expected, vinegar, sour cherry, red wine, wood. The malts seems to disappear (unexpectedly for the style), getting more funk and rather similar to a flander ale. The beer itself is enjoyable and tasty... just unexpected. The most Belgian among German beers!
Bottle, 0.375l. 2016 edition. Deep murky amber/brown pour, no head. No lacing. Interesting nose, sweet and sour, mixture of malty, woody and fruity notes. Hints of wine.
Medium body, flat carbonation. Chewy texture, nice thickness to it, really nice and smooth. Sour and sweet taste with notable alcohol presence. Fruity aroma, sour cherries, figs, berries, grapes, ripe banana. Mild citrus touches. Liquorice, warming akcohol. Lingering wood barrel aroma. Feels more like wine rather than beer. Rich, complex and tasty. Long lasting finish, dry, sour and liquory.
Quite interesting brew. One to savour slowly, very enjoyable.
Sour cherry, biscuit, caramel, hazy brown, sweet with light sourness, caramel, dark fruit,. Flanders weizen.
Mørk, frisk og slett ikke som ventet. Kommer nok ikke til å kjøpe denne igjen.
375ml bottle (2016 vintage) from BEER:shop in St. Albans. Pours opaque brown with no head. Aroma is ripe bananas, cherries, red wine, wheat, a hint of vinegar and funkiness. Taste is bananas, wheat and cherries, vinous, medium sour. Very interesting beer.

Vynikající weizenbock - sladkotrpký, hutný s výraznou příchutí sušeného ovoce, jahod, malin a trnek.
2015 bottle thanks Roman ambrato scuro velata schiuma media non molto persistente note acetiche iniziali poi si attenua legno note vinose buona acidita secca ma con note caramellato una leggera speziatura
Sour personality with notes of berries, cinnamon, mild acidity, astringency. Nose: a bit sour, with well-present timber notes. The impact on the palate is at first acidic, followed by the woody side instantly, mildly vinegary, yeasty and astringent. Low carbonation and bubbles are very fragile, very smooth and very slow. Goes well with hard cheese. Special!
Winne, owocowe, jeżynowe, lekko kwaśne, w ciemno bym powiedział że z dodatkiem jakichś dzikusów. Bocka za bardzo nie czuję, ale nie przeszkadza mi to. Bardzo smaczne, złożone piwo, chętnie bym powtórzył.
750 ml bottle, vintage 2016, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV 9.5%. Dark brown colour, thin off-white head. Lovely aroma of red wine and oak, red wine vinegar, brettanomyces / farmhouse and malts. Medium sour flavour with the same elements as the aroma.
Great flavour fruity sour but only gently
Tried this one with my brother and brother-in-law, as an opening to our annual family lobster fest, nice complex spin of the eisbock.
375 ml bottle, as Aventinus Cuvee Barrique, 2014 vintage. Pours clear, deep chestnut with a sizzling and then non-existent foam. Nose is red wine barrel with some tartness and only the faintest hint of the great beer hiding underneath. Unfortunately the flavor has the same problem. Not awful, but tastes like a sour red wine with a bit of malt lurking about. Medium bodied with almost flat carbonation after all the sizzle. A little boozy for 9.5%.
Bottle version, The appearance is Dark brown, Opaque, Ivory Beer Head with flat, coarse, few foam. Low persistency, The Aroma of beer is sherry-like clear fruity flavor, such as plum, date, raisin, and slightly smoky (woody?) and bready. The Flavor of beer has significant multi-fermentation characters, like lactic acids (sour), fruity esters (plum, date, cherry). There is a noticeable oxidation in beer but not offensive. slightly tobacco hints in the aftertaste. Not alcoholic warmth. Quite clean and smooth. Medium Sweetness, Low carbonation, Medium Body, Low Bitterness. It's a beautiful barreled beer.
Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a slightly cloudy pomegranate and copper color with a finger of foam that lingers. Vinous, tannic oak aromas with notes of bread and grain. Smooth with a slightly tart, berry note with plum really standing out as it warms. More fall fruit mid-palate with plum, pluot and oak standing out. Full bodied on the palate, with more vinous wine and bready grain on the finish. Enjoyable.
Review based on the BJC2015 guidelines (style 33A:10C/9B). Bottle 33 cl - Batch unknown - 2016 Edition (BBF 20.01.2021). AROMA: medium-high sour aroma with slight sulphury, horsy and acetic notes. wood background with slight vanillin. APPEARANCE: deep amber and slightly hazy with larger particles in suspension. low beige head with low retention. TASTE: medium sour notes with horsy/barnyard character and slight wood. very faint eisbock notes on the background. low bitterness with a dry finish. PALATE: medium body with low carbonation. OVERALL: the example how excessive barrel maturation and improper barrel handling can ruin two world class beers.
2016 vintage. 0,75l bottle. Pours brown with off-white head. Acidic aroma, with notes of malt, bread, banana, clove, berries. Taste is sour, malt, banana, berries, clove, yeasty, bready. The sourness takes up way too much of the flavour profile, but otherwise decent.

Pours hazy mahogany with a thin light tan head. Aroma is dried fruit esters, wood and a hint roast. Taste is raisin and tart cherry, moving to breadiness and light roast. Finish carries the cherry tartness. A sour wheat bock.
Ročník 2014. Nebyla to až taková bomba jako jsem očekával. Aventinus i Eis-Aventinus samostatně lepší, sorry jako...
0.75l bottle vintage. 2016& 2017@ pours dark ruby clear with dissipating off-white head. Freaky transformation, really didn't expect this! Sour character from red wine barrels with note of berries, vanilla, mellow acidity, tannin, hint of banana esters in aroma..
Medium bodied, smooth texture, moderate carbonation, dry finish. Great
