can, danke Michau! Clear golden colour, large white head. Very shy malty aroma. Dry mouthfeel, some malt in the far distance, bitter hops with a woody character all over the tongue. Złoto Dolnego Śląska/the gold of lower Silesia? - I’m not sure....

bottle, thanks Monika! Deep brown, almost black colour, large beige head. Sweet, coffe-like, toffee and caramel. Coffee with sugar comes to one’s mind.

Brotiger Antrunk mit leichter Süße. Das Himbeeraroma tritt nun ein und wirkt zwar seh süß und künstlich, dadurch, dass das Aroma aber nicht sehr stark ist, sind die Nebeneffekte erträglich. Süffig, zum Ende überlagert die Herbe die Süße, hier scheint das Malzbier mit dem Himbeerton nicht harmonisch zu sein, es entsteht ein bitterer Fehlton. Trinkbare Sommererfrischung. 8/6/7/7/12/7

Bottle. It’s a clear one, chestnut colored and topped by a dense, creamy, finger-thick beige head. Rather worty on the nose with dried fruits to fill in the blanks, making it a rather one-tracked beer. The same goes for the flavor, but there’s some licorice too, sweet both initially and in the end. Smooth, yet sticky on the palate. Overall, too sweet, and definitely not my kind of beer. 110204

33cl bottle from the Wine Company, Slough. Weird, but actually rather enjoyable. This is definitely best considered as a soft drink in the "iced coffee" style, but nevertheless some of the malt character comes through. It’s a attractive deep brown colour with a hint of purple shining through; very sweet with caramel, coffee, and malt flavours and a hint of chocolate. Defintely worth a try.

Canned. Clear yellow, minimal head. Fruity and sloppy. Appley and fairly light bodied. The alcohol is well hidden, but I don’t know in what, as it is completely empty. No bitterness. Industrial swill.

Bottle. Black with a thin head, no great aroma. Very sweet with a syrupy texture. No life at all

400 ml bottle. Deep amber body with a fine, dense beige head. Aroma is strong coffee and caramel, some butterscotch. Flavor is just too much sweet caramel, toffee and coffee and to little beer. This is more like a curiosity.

Bottle. Amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is wort, prunes, malt. Flavour is sweet, wort, sugar, malt, prunes, caramel. Thin beer.

500 ml bottle. Deep amber body with a medium, dense beige head. Aroma has malt and some dry, sweet fruit. Flavor is very sweet malt, traces of liquorices and just a hint of bitterness. Way too sweet.
