A strong, rich, and malty German lager aged on French oak spirals. Rich and complex aroma and flavour of dark bread, toffee, and caramel from malts, and light cinnamon, vanilla, and spice from French oak. Hints of chocolate and tobacco-like tannin in the background. Moderate bitterness. Lightly sweet but not syrupy. Very clean and dangerously easy drinking for the ABV.

Poured from the tap. Dark amber brown with small beige head. Toffee malt with an underlying gentle oak. A bit lacking, but inoffensive.

Amber-brown, not much head. Toffee aroma with a bit of the french oak. On the palate, has some brown sugar, more oak, a bit nutty. The oak brings spiciness and the finish has a good dbk kick. Ok, so as a beer it’s good, but dbk needs that rich bready malt character, which is lacking here. But not getting to that Bavarian level is no crime - it’s a good beer it just doesn’t crush the style. .
