Bottle. It’s a clear, amber colored beer topped by a small, off-white head. Some alcohol in the aroma, with caramel maltyness and some grassy hints. Some malty sweetness in the flavor, with caramel, grass, a faint bitterness and some fruity hints. Medium to full body, with some alcohol warmth. Sweet, caramel finish with some notes of cooked vegetables. Well, nothing impressive going on here. 130516

German Christmas Market in Birmingham (West Midlands): 5th Dec 2012. Draught pint into a ’Lowenbrau (Munich) glass tankard. Looked good in the sunlight on a really cold, crisp afternoon: Deep amber/mahongany in colour, clear and clean: on top a thin off-white covering that turned into a small wisp and a collar fairly quickly. Pleasant malty aroma and taste: semi-sweet with hints of winter/Christmas spices, cinnamon? Nice surprise to see this at the huge 180+ stall annual event: most places just sold ’German Lager’ and didn’t even give the brewery name or ABV: I hate that, it is worse when the staff don’t know what beer it is either! Highlight of the tasting was the stall next door with its Hams being cooked on rotating spits and the talking/singing reindeer head above the next nearest beer hut.

330ml bottle. Clear amber colour with average frothy off-white head. Bitter hop induced Caramel malt aroma, slightly sweet, tendency to strawy. Low carbonation, monotonous taste, hop note on the edge soapyness, slightly sweet caramel malt basis.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass also. Dark but not black, nice head. Starts soft-malty, not as strong as exspected. More and more spicy, also roasty with a soft smokey touch. Finish well balanced, still spicy. Could be a bit more intense, but still a great beer!
