This traditional lager is medium in body with a deep roasted character. Its dark color and rich malty flavor come from specially roasted caramel and chocolate malts. This brew is lightly hopped with Noble Bavarian hops for a soft spiciness and a smooth clean finish. Cheers!

0.33L bottle. Small quickly dissapearing head, dark brown almost opaque colour with some red streaks. Dominant aroma of stale dark sour bread with some malt and some vanila. Taste is very dry with just a little touch of sweetness, some notes of roasted coffee. The texture is a little thin and unpleasant. Aftertaste is quite short and unappealing..

Weicher Malzantrunk, prickelnd, röstig. Im Mittelteil etwas herber werdend, weiterhin überzeugt das Bier mit seiner Weichheit. Diese geht nicht auf kosten der Aromen denn das Malz wird etwas röstiger, könnte aber tiefgehender sein, die scheinbare Süße passt nicht so wirklich. Im Abgang etwaswürziger, die Herbe ist erst wieder ganz zum Schluss erkennbar, würde aber auch vorhher gut passen. Nettes Schwarzbier, man erkennt, dass es keine deutsche Interpretation ist! Test vom 23.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,9,10,11,10 - 9,80

Aroma is moderate floral hops with some chocolate maltiness. Appearance consists of a creamy off-white head with really good lacing covering a black body. Taste is watery with chocolate malts and a bit of saltiness towards the end. watery mouthfeel with soft carbonation.

Dark brown, nearly black, with a solid creamy brown head. Nose is of caramel & roasted chocolate & coffee. The aroma is amazing & very promising. The taste and the rest of the experience is just as nice - smooth, soft & filling palate. Roasted coffee/chocolate malts - very mild - very drinkable. Brilliant at 4,9%!!!

Bottle: Poured a dark black/brown with an off white head. The aroma was sweet roasted caramel malt. The taste was very similiar sweet and roasted malt. Not as chalky as most dark beers of this type and very pleasant for a grocery market purchase.
