Plums, light roast, light caramel, toffee, red berries, bread. Round and pleasant.

330mml. bottle as part of the European Local Swap 3/2017, many thanks to herrklemann for this bottle. Hazy brown colour with a low tan head. Aroma of malts, caramel, minerals and plums. Taste is caramel, bread, yeast and some fruits. Dry finish. Next one please!

Jan. ’16. On tap at Känguruh, Vienna. It poured very hazy deep red body with medium sizd head. Sharp, tart vinous aroma. Lightly bitter flavor, only a bit from herbal hops and mostly from the roasted malt like coffee. Which brought light sourness, too. Balanced and sweetened with caramel, dark fruits and biscuit. Medium body with long, elegant "biscuit with fresh red fruit jam" malty finish. A good alt, less bitter and more keller-like than usual, but very interesting and enjoyable.

At a tasting, small fluffy head, quite hazy light nutty brown to red color, aroma of minerals and some burned notes, flavor of caramel with that burned edge, light bitterness and sweetness. Strange but drinkable.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Alexey’s place. Thanks Stas. Deep amber-brown. Aroma of malt, caramel, yeast, toast, some fruitiness. Sweet flavor with malt, toast, caramel, a bit of yeast, bread, fruitiness, and a bitterish finish. Medium-bodied.

50 cl bottle. Pours hazy brown with a small tn head. Aroma is grassy, breadish and roasted malt. Bitter, light fruity, toasted and slight breadish malty. Dry and bitter finish. Lasting roasted malt flavour.

Ich weiß, dass es typisch für ein Altbier ist, dass es etwas fahl schmeckt... Aber dieses Bier setzt dem die Krone auf. Unterstützt wird das durch einen Altbier-untypischen bitteren Geschmacken, was Abzüge bei der Süffigkeit bringt. Man kann es gerne probieren, aber es gibt besseres.

Tap at Salon piva. Quite neutral beer, both in aroma and taste, but very easily drinkable. Light caramel defines most of taste. Quite simple but enjoyable.

bottle at Fassdippler. dark brown color, looks filtered. no head at all, not even some bubbles. smells light fruity, light burned, light smoked. medium body, tastes bready, flat carbonation, grainy, fruity, malty, slight sweetness, very lightly smoked, kinda weird, not very tasty, leaves no head and lacing probably some problem with the bottle, tastes a bit like a flat dunkles, might give this a rerate.
