0,5 l bottle, new good looking label art design. Pale yellow in the glass, small fine foamy head. A lot of carbonation. Nothing on the nose. Tastes low malty, light straw, low hop herb, low sourness. Nothing I would remember tomorrow.

Good looking 0,5 l longneck bottle. Pale golden, nearly yellow and a little bit unclear in the glass. Small white head. Starts light malty with an unexpected bitterness. A little bit sour, low grainy. Cheap citrus taste in the background. Thin and unbalanced.

Bottle. Light black with a thin head. Aroma is dull malt. Flavor is sweet malt, not much else, a maltztrunk.

0,5 l bottle with a lot label glue on the bottle glass. Not very appetizing. And it´s not called beer under the old and outdated german law. Pours dark red brown with a tanned crown. Sweet malt and soap at the nose. Short description: Don´t expect a real Porter. We call that in german Malztrunk with maybe a little bit licorice. Not recommended.

Draught at BBF13. Clear very dark brown colour. Light brown head. The flavour is very sweet. Has some molasses. Syrupy mouthfeel. Bready finish.

Draught @ BBF13. Pours clear dark ruby with small off-white head. Roasty aroma of malt with a touch of caramel. Sweet flavour of molasses and caramel malt and molasses. Ditto aftertaste. Would be much better without it. Quite unbalanced. Nowhere near anything like poryer

bottle from a trade... deep black, creamy beige head. Aroma of roasetd malts. Sweet start, perhaps a tad too sweet, but quite pleasant with flavours of chocolate, caramel and freshly ground coffee (very shy). Quite nice, even if it has elements of a sweet malzbier.

Hell hefiger Antrunk, der eine hintergründige Säure enthält. Getreidiger werdend, frisch, die öeichte Säure passt mit der milden Bitterkeit gut in den Gesamteindruck. Dabei könnte das Bier vor allem zum Schluss hefiger sein, hier ist die Herbe das stärkste Aroma, die Hefigkeit nur nebensächlich. Minimal bitterer Abgang, monoton. 12/8/9/8/9/8
Earlier Rating: 12/15/2011 Total Score: 2.6
Etwas platter Hefeantrunk, der zum Mittelteil aber frischer wirkt. Die Herbe ist angenehm, die aufkommende Bitterkeit passend. Die Aromen lassen aber insgesamt nach, so dass das Bier schnell flach wirkt und besonders im Abgang nicht überzeugen kann. Trinkbar, süffig und in weiten Teilen auch aromatisch genug – aber eben nicht in allen. 8/8/8/7/6/7

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours amber with a slight haze and hardly any head. Nose is sweet caramellish. Medium body, sweet malt, sweet caramel and somewhat oxidized. Whisky? Not really. And oak-aged?? Not really. Just caramel soup. 030413
