Bottle, at TFODRBSG-12. A clear one, brown in color and with a finger-thick, oft-white to light beige head. Weak, lightly roasted aroma with some dried fruit notes. Quite weak flavor too, roasted malts, some wet cardboard, caramel, bread and a touch of dried fruits. Medium body, dry and pleasantly carbonated. Some bitterness towards the end. A quite decent one, especially considering the origin. 120818

Dark brown, strong and taste seemed chocolaty to me. Marketed as "an affair for men" or something like that. Decent dark beer but lacking complexity.

Etwas penetranter Medizingeruch, der andere Gerüche verdeckt, scharf. Milder Antrunk, der anschließend stärker werdende Malzteil ist ansprechend. Süffig, süßlich, untertönig malzig, wobei dieser Ton erneut scharf erscheint. Mild malziger Abgang, der erstaunlich lange hält. Test vom 29.6.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,7,7,6,6,7 - 6,90

Huge, light brown coloured head, collapsing over chestnut coloured beer. Quite sweet nose, brown sugar loaded, bit of wood. Sweet wood. Bit woody-sugary taste as well, if not very outspoken, not cloying - maybe because of a sourish taste that seems linked to the CO² content. Ends woody-metallic, drier. Warming up, more sweetness again, near cloying, banana ester. Main problem: unbalance between the different impressions. Medium bodied, seems like "false" filling, ending quite dry. Strangy, unconvincing beer. I am flabbergasted as to the mode of fermentation... brown ale, or Dunkel?
