2/VIII/25 - 33cl flip-top bottle from a local supermarket, shared @ Schwarzwald holiday, BB: 31/X/25, 13:17 (2025-732)
Paired with Winzerkäse from Edeka supermarket, nice pairing!
Little cloudy dark brown beer, big solid creamy beige head, a bit irregular, pretty stable, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice, pretty malty, grains, a good roast, somewhat nutty, toast, some alcohol, cocoa powder, caramel notes, nice! MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: good roast up front, some alcohol, pretty bitter, clean malt bill, a bit yeasty, a hint of banana, pleasant stout! Aftertaste: good roast, caramel malts, a bit of acidity, bitter and dry finish, slightly metallic, decent old school UK style stout, I like it!

Woody, herbal chocolate malt and weedy grass aroma. Dark brown with small head. Moderately sweet herbal chocolate malt and mildly bitter grass flavor. Good body.

Bottle. Clear dark brown/mahagony sporting a small beige head. Aroma of malts, caramel and metal. Taste of malts, dried fruits and caramel with herbal notes and hints of liquorice. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Süffig but fails at meeting the style. It’s a bad stout but would make for an ok Dunkel.

Dirty brown with a creamy head that lingers. Rather unfortunate aroma that smells something like an old shoe. Even after 5 minutes in the glass it never really improved. Taste is, thankfully, much better. Mildly bitter with milk chocolate undertones. Medium bodied, mild carbonation. Nice chewiness. Flawed but drinkable.

Stark getreidiger, erst in zweiter Linie röstiger Antrunk. Karamell, Kuhstall, moderat herb. Der für das Kuhstall-Aroma verantwortliche nasse Hopfen wirkt fehlerhaft und zerkocht, muffig. Nicht gut... 8/6/5/5/8/5

Many thanks to kevnic2008 for sharing! Fresh and smooth, but very dry. No bitterness, fruity-fresh. Round and smooth but not too round, fruity malty roasted without any bitterness. Strange...

Pours a brown color with khaki colored head. Caramel, lots of it on the nose, with just a little roast and cocoa; follows onto the palate.

bottle from Bièrerie Illkirch-Graffenstaden. For a good selection of craft beer, including German craft beer, my only chance is to drive to France, because most of the local Getränkemärkte don’t stock fancy stuff. Anyway - deep brown, almost black, hazy, with a creamy beige head. Chocolatey nose and flavours with some freshly ground coffee and some dried fruit. Good.
