2008: Ein Vierkornbier aus Weizen Roggen, Gersten und Dinkelmalz. Säuerlich-schlammiger Geruch, erst spät süßlich-getreidig. Im Antrunk steht vorerst eine dunkle und leicht herbe Getreidenote im Vordergrund, die erst etwas scharf, kurz darauf aber abmildernd süß wird. Die verschiedenen Getreidesorten arbeiten dabei nicht ganz sauber miteinander und führen das Bier in gegensätzliche Richtungen. So wird es auf der einen Seite süßlicher, auf der anderen wird eine hopfige Bitterkeit intensiver. Im Abgang scheint sich das Bier zu beruhigen, die gemeeinsame Getreidigkeit wird etwas stärker, zudem setzt sich ein herbes Aroma gegen die anderen nun deutlich abgeschwächten Noten durch. Wenig süßer Nachgeschmack, in dem das Getreide eine bedeutende Rolle spielt. Netter Versuch, könnte aber noch etwas harmonischer sein. 8/8/9/9/9/9

Bottled@Helsinki Beer Festival 2011. Slightly hazy golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, fruits, some toffee and mild notes of herbs. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balance. Not all too sweet, which makes it quite enjoyable.

Bottle: Hazy, deep golden to light amber coloured, small off-white foamy layer; "chalky"-malty nose, maybe with a touch of diacetyl; moderate bitter-sweet flavour with a light acidity, medium bodied; diacetyl in the sweet-fruity finish with a sourish afterburner. Surely infected, no pleasure....

(draught at the brewpub & bottle at home) Hazy, deep golden to light-amber colour with a mrdium-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet cara-malty and slightly bready aroma with a yeasty touch and herbal hops Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Solid (cara-)malty base with early arriving herbal hoppy accents, leading to a dry-out-effect towards the herbal and hop bitter finish with a pleasantly blended malty sweetness. The bottled version is heavily lacking carbonation and freshness (~2.6), otherwise a good and not too sweet pale Bock. 04. & 08.V.10

The bottle looks simple but good, the beer in the glass is copper coloured, modest yeasty. Starts quite sourish, strong, very spicy-earty notes. Modest yeasty. Not as malty as exspected for a doppelbock. Finish still sourish, also some caramel notes. A very unusual but really good doppelbock!

(bottle) Hazy, mahogany colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and moderately toasted, slightly molassy aroma with caramel dried prunes and a tinge of chocolate. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid and moderately toasted malty base with caramel, marzipan, nuts and shy herbal notes; sweet and moderately toasted malty and bitter finish. Had it also on tap and remember it with more yeast-character and a less sweetness. 19.XII.09

Bottle: A bit unclear, ruby-amber coloured, small to medium-sized lacy beige head; light aromas of caramel, toasted malt, milk-chocolate and unfermented mash in the nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; delicate roasty and mashy aromas, mixed with milk-chocolate, in the sweet-bitter finish. Not bad, but very tame......
