From the bottle. Dirty brown with a foamy head that proves to be fleeting. Mild aroma of toasted grains. Taste is mildly sweet with mineral notes and a light roasted bitterness at the end. Light to medium body wit a watery texture. Blah.

Der Antrunk ist vollmundig-malzig, leicht röstmalzig-herb, vor allem zum Mittelteil werdend. Insgesamt aber eher etwas flacher. Die Röstmalztöne bleiben doch etwas im Hintergrund, auch die herbe Note könnte ausgeprägter sein. Auf der Zunge bleibt eine leicht-malzig-röstmalzige Note.
--> Netter Versuch, aber für ein gutes Schwarzbier viel zu flach. Die Aromenkomposition gefällt mir – müsste aber um einiges intensiver sein!

Dobre piwo choć jak dla mnie nie rewelacyjne i nawet w swojej kategorii. Rubinowo-czerwone odcienie i gożki finisz są jak najbardziej porządane. Piwo lekko gryzie i zbyt głębokich łyków nie da się robić.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before 17 Dec 2010, my second beer during my 2 July 2010 German beer evening. Poured (twice) into my ’Paderborner’ tall vase shaped glass. Dark brown with reddy hints with a thick tan head. The aroma was of burnt/roasted/toasted malts with semi-sweet molasses as it warmed. The taste was malty, but a little dry up front, the dryness continueing throughout the mouthfeel. I thought the body a bit thin, but I always do with German black beers, they just seem to lack character where they most need it and have very little richness or depth.
