Old rating - A 330ml bottle collected from the brewery a couple of years ago. Pours a dark red-brown with a white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, red fruits, roasted nuts, spice & malts. Medium body. A hoppy bitter finish. Outstanding.

Opaque deep amber colour, mid-sized lasting, creamy, beige head, very heavy lacing. Aroma sweet malt, overripe fruit (bit sourish impression), raisins, fruit syrup, caramel, wood notes. Taste medium sweet and bitter, malty and bittering hops, caramel, spicy notes. Lingering dry bittersweet aftertaste, malty and earthy notes, bit resinous. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation, complex and tasty beer, good but not easy brew.

Holziger, trocken hopfiger Antrunk. Grasig bitter, trocken bleibend, mit der Zeit mild süß. Spritzig, der Hopfen steigert sich deutlich. Dann auch malzig wobei der voluminöse Hopfen im Vordergrund bleibt. Langer, hopfig bitterer Nachgeschmack. Gut! 11/12/9/12/10/12

Bottle from Village De La Bière, Strasbourg consumed at Fischers Fritz Camping, Kirchner, Nr Zurich, Switzerland, Thursday 23rd June 2016. Very much a dark amber coloured beer with a foamy white/off-white head. Smells a bit like brewing day on the nose but more malty than hoppy, a little fruity but not so much, the maltiness has a damp aroma to it. Once again I get too much residual sweetness. It’s ok.

At a tasting, thanks, small stable off white head, cloudy lightish brown color, jammy aroma with some stale grains and bread, light fruity,grainy flavor with some herbal bitterness, long bitter aftertaste, not too pleasant. Much too old.
