This is an alias
It might feature this name on special/promotional labels, or in international markets, but it is the same liquid as in the one below.
Original
We owe the first Viennese lager to Anton Dreher, the inventor of the lager. With the advent of light beers in the 19th century, it was displaced, but found its way to Mexico, where the original brewing style was greatly modified. Not so with us. We have been brewing our “Original” unchanged since 1999.

Die Nase erfreut sich an Pfeffer und weichen Röstaromen, wie Kakao und Bitterschokolade. Nach knackigem Antrunk weiche Geschmäcke aus dem dunklen Malz. Die Textur ist trocken. Ein dezenter Säurekick aus der Röstaromatik leitet ins Finale: Toffee-, Toast- und Kakaonoten, die nachklingen. Malzbetont, schlank, trocken.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours clear, red-brown with a moderate, light tan foam head. Dark malt nose, light caramel, perhaps even some cocoa. Light roast in the nose! (Haven’t encountered much roast in Berlin.) Very, very nice flavor. Good roasty wholegrain bread, some earthy bitterness, light to medium sweetness, toast, toasty sugars, light burnt wood. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Light earthy, roasty finish, mild earthy hops, lingering toast, light cocoa and caramel. One of the best brewpub beers of Berlin.

On tap at Brauhaus Mitte in October. Cloudy amber with a lasting off-white head. Grainy malt aroma with notes of chocolate, toffee and caramel, and a lot of DMS. Sweet grainy flavour with caramel. Very brewpub-y

Clear dark brown cola colour, cream colour head. Malty, slightly sweet aroma, yeast and caramel. Sour malts and roasted tones. Sweet malty flavour, light sour tones, some caramel. Bit thin and slightly sticky. Less roasted tones in the mouth than in the nose. Finishes with light hops.

Beer No. 36 on my tour through Austria, Germany and Denmark.
Draught at the brewpub. Pale amber coloured, small off-white head, caramelish nose. Sweet malty, caramel and mild nutty with notes of hops in the finish. Pretty ordinary and also watery.

Draft @ Lemke, Mitte. Ambrée, mousse blanche. Beau profile de malt grillé, touche de caramel pils avec un fini houblonné. Reste légère et pour un changement pas cet aspect trop liquoreux qu’ont bcp d’autres Dunkel.

Mitte location: Ruby-brown with slight haze. The aroma hints at yeasty, husky, slightly toasty beer. Very toasty, a bit thin, yeasty. Pretty basic rustic in a boring way dunkel. 6-3-6-3-11 = 2.9
Charlottenburg location: Hazy tawny brown. The aroma is mostly toasty with a hint of chocolate. The palate is reasonably full with toasty, chocolatey notes. A decent, rounded dunkel. 6-3-7-3-14 = 3.3

Draught at the brewpub. Chestnut brown with a fluffy white head. dry taste on the palate. More like an English ale than a dunkel beer. Ok
