At a tasting, small stable creamy head, clear very dark metalic red color, aroma of brown bread, wax and dried fruits, flavor of dried fruits and caramel, light bitterness dosn't blend with the sweetness. Nice but not too exciting.

Weicher, dunkel erdig-würziger Antrunk. Mild herb-holziger Mittelteil bei erstaunlich starkem Hopfen, wenig bitter, Bitterschokokade. Vollmundig, kaum alkoholisch, sehr würzig - gelungen. 10/9/11/11/10/11
