Pours a dark reddish/light brown, with a healty, slightest off-white head that shows very good retention and lacing. Interesting and fairly strong aroma is mostly malty: dark bread and light caramel with a vivid nutty feeling; a very nice fruitiness (ripe red fruits) on the back; and a touch of spiciness too. Taste is medium to high sweet with medium bitterness; overall there is a sweet edge but the beer is still well balanced and has a fair semi-dry finish. Taste notes: dark bread, light caramel, light nuttiness, an earthy feel, ripe red fruits, a touch of spiciness. Very interesting in terms of complexity, sadly not super clean/defined; but that's ok for a franconian landbier, and this one definitely has a rustic feel to it. Light to medium bodied with medium carbonation, in an overall half creamy/half easygoing mouthfeel. Of course highly drinkable as the style demands. An interesting landbier.
