On tap at Hummel, pours a clear amber with a medium beige head. Aroma has a nice copper/metallic bready malt character and light spiciness. Flavour is extremely malty and quite rich for a marzen, with deep bready malt, a nice spiciness, and some old furniture. Deep spicy maltiness on the finish. This is great.

Ein kupferfarbenes Märzen mit sehr schöner, dichter Schaumkrone; im Aroma deutlich fruchtig-hopfig und würzig, im Mund relativ schlank, leicht würzig-malzig und ebenfalls mit deutlicher Hopfennote, süßlich beginnend mit eher trockenem Nachtrunk.

500ml Bottle - Amber in colour. Rye bread, walnuts, honey and hazelnuts in the aroma. Nutty and slightly roasted taste with honey, nuts, cornflakes, caramel, orange and even some notes of chocolate in there too. Rather interesting and complex.
