Barrel Aged Magic Mirror

Magic Mirror is an imperial version of our flagship Snow Drop Kottbusser Ale. It is brewed with more grains, honey and molasses then aged in oak. The result is a big, malty, light colored ale with just enough hops to balance the sweetness but still leave a refreshing oak flavor on your tongue. Once upon a time German beer was only deemed pure if it contained the four orthodox ingredients of brewing: water, barley, hops, and yeast. With the advent of the Reinheitsgebot, also known as the German Beer Purity Law, an ale known as Kottbusser was outlawed because it contained oats, honey, and molasses. Over the centuries since its prohibition, Kottbusser became a lost brewing style. We are delighted to bring it back. Prost!
