bottle, traded with wastl. Clear chestnut colour with a small beige head. Malty nose. Medium-bodied, flavours of caramel and spicy aromatic hops. Shy hints of bitter chocolate and cocoa powder. Most impressive is the palate, I’ve rarely had a beer with such a pleasant palate. Extremely smooth and velevety yet with signs of liveliness. A delicious beer - a masterpiece, ein Meisterstück.

Bottle at Pig’s Ear BF 08. Deep russet, no head. Fruity German beer. Too cold, but a really lovely fruity lager. Nice, very drinkable.

Bottle from Landbierparadies, Nurnberg 10/11/07. Reddish-amber with a big off-white head and slight carbonation. Caramel malt aroma. Flavour of dough with a dusting of chocolate, and some cinnamon with a short dry finish. Good.

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a fluffy, off-white foamy head. A bit dusty, moderately sweet, minimal sour and roast-malty aroma with caramel and spicy hops in the background. Light-sweet flavour, medium bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Moderately roasted malty taste with caramel and milk chocolate; dry-ish, malty slightly bitter finish with a delicate blend of herbal hops and a rural barnyard note. Not that much different to the Vollbier, but a bit stronger and eventually a bit more roasty; very pleasant and quaffable, although I prefer the Vollbier which is better balanced from my point of view.

Der malzige Antrunk ist angenehm aber nicht sehr stark, zudem steht er alleine und erhält keinerlei Unterstützung. Im mittelteil wird dies später, es stößt eine herbe Beinote hinzu. Während auch noch eine leichte Süße hinzukommt weicht die Malzigkeit weitestgehend, das Bier bleibt so in der Intensität gleich. Im Abgang karamellig. Süffiges, in weiten Teilen aber zu mildes Bier. 11/8/9/9/9/9

Bottle: Amber coloured, big firm lasting and lasting head; faint sweet malty nose with a tinge of hoppiness and traces of roasted malts; sweetish malty and bitter flavour; slightly malty and bitter finish. Well quaffable, but nothing special...................
