Many thanks to kevnic2008 for sharing! Sweetish malty beginning. Sticky with hints of honey. Not much bitterness, sweetish in the aftertaste.

Many thanks for this beer to Grzesiek79. Lots of sweet malt in the aroma. Pours a clear golden color with a very small white head.The flavor is dominated by sweet malt and alcohol.

clear golden colour,huge and quite stable white head; aroma of cardboard, alcohol, maybe some apple; taste of a weak bodied lager with a lot of alcohol; horrible

Can. Piwo o ladnej piance, srednio trwalej, bardzo takiej malo elastycznej. Kolor zloty. Smak slodkawy, alkoholowy i nic pozatym wlasciwie. Zbytnio slodowe i alkoholowe jak dla mnie. Jako strong lager i konkurencja nawet dobrze wypada na tle polskich w tym styliu

Canned 500ml. -from Area 12 Torino. Yellow/golden coloured, small white head, dusty nose. Sweet malty, glue, cheap alcohol and touch of green apple with rather sweet and boozy finish. Just like I’ve expected to be.

So, a canned German cheap strong lager for the Chinese market ends up in a discount store here. And I have the honor to add it even though I'm probably one of the last people on the scene with access to this who have tried it. Assume the RB people just didn't bother. Anyway, poured a misty dull golden body with a medium white head that went away fast leaving no trace of it. Jesus Christ this smells like pasta with tomato sauce and Ribanac cheese. You don't know what Sirela Ribanac is? Your loss. An addictive, wonderful Croatian Parmesan substitute. Which rocks. However, that's one the last smells I want in a beer, though as far as cheesy smells go, it's far from the most offensive one. The alcohol that pops up here and there doesn't help. Dull stale malty taste, light alcohol presence, vague vague cheesy touch.
2/3's of the can to go.
A vigorous pour nets me a nice looking head really, but it's gone so fast... and it still smells like cheese-covered pasta with tomato sauce. Maybe with oregano too. The taste remains the same. I paid my hard earned 4kn for this, so I'd better get my money's worth. Honestly, beers like this make me rethink being a rater from time to time. I mean, why. Why do I poison myself (through alcohol, hey)? I'll never catch all the Pokémon. And then it occurs to me... well, someone has to warn the others about beers like this. While I'm writing this, light green apple popped up. Ah yes, the wonders of the Reinheitsgebot. Guarantee of quality - unless the brewery sucks ass. I think I'll buy a can or two and force whoever exalts it in front of me mindlessly the next time to drink the can up. All the way. I don't see a way how adjuncts could fuck this up. That said, being an experienced rater, I'd actually drunk 2 other 7.9% Eichbauminations but this is by far the worst of the three. And Eichbaum isn't even the worst cheap German brewery!
Roughly 2dl to go folks, bear with me.
A random vague cheap hop extract bitterish touch shows up buried somewhere in the finish. Is this the worst 4kn (0.64 USD / 0.54 EUR) I've ever spent? No, I've wasted money worse at times. All of us have. I mean, this is not the worst beer I've ever tried. Not by far, but I actually haven't paid for most of those. I see no way to make it worse apart from adding fake truffle aroma to it, or some major infection though. It's the dull stale, slightly soapy maltiness that's the kicker here, clearing out everything else that's actually the most frustrating thing about this. It just sucks out any semblance of moreishness from this stuff, turning it randomly astringent of all things. This is lifeless, a beer all joy was sucked out of at its genesis. A genuine downer, so blah it's depressing. The only people who did their job right were the designers of the can, as it's memorable and kinda cute. Props to them. Everybody else? Go (censored) yourselves. There you go. This was the Tollheit experience. Drinking crap so you don't have to. Unless you rate. Then you should.

Oof, almost forgot to enter this rating, thanks Ogi! Poured a golden body with a medium sized thick white head. Fresh aroma, slightly sweetish, vaguely hoppy, light alcohol. Empty taste, thin, solvent, saved by emptiness. Crappy glue note here and there. Eh. And yet not the worst thing you can try.

Can at home; present from my mates Hardy & Elsa. Pours deep golden, almost no head. Some notes of hay, malt. Tastes sweet, yet thin bodied. What a boring beer! To brew a strong beer like this with so little aroma and taste is a waste of ingredients!

Can shared at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of graininess, some DMS and alcohol fumes. Sweetish flavor with graininess, a bit of corn, alcohol and bitterish finish with light herbal notes. Light to medium-bodied.

Can. Dark golden color with medium white head. Strong malty aroma. Malty taste with light hoppy bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden.
