Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Sweet malty nose with some perfumy aroma hops. Medium body, sweet malts. Subdued bitterness. 151010

(bottle, 7.7% abv) Clear, brown colour with a ruby shine and a big but collapsing beige frothy head. Sweet and moderately toasty malty aroma with notes of leather and almost a peaty/smokey touch. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a calm carbonation. Hearty and moderately toasty malt-character with notes of molasses and a subtle fruitiness; sweet and slightly toasty malty finish with light notes of herbal hops and alcohol shining through. Not my first choice on a day with more than 30° Celsius; also very close if not identical to the Schwarzer Baron by Autenrieder. 05.VII.10

(bottle, 33cl, 7.7% abv) Clear, dark amber to brown colour with a big and beige foamy head. Toasty malty and leafy, leathery aroma with notes of dark bread/Pumpernickel as well as a tinge of alcohol. Sweet flavour with a whiff of bitterness, full bodied with an oily mouthfeel. Robust toasty malty base with notes of dark bread, molasses and subtle notes of dried fruits; sweet and molassy malty finish with a well-covered alcohol. Clean and nice, just a tad too sweet for my liking. 05.VII.10

(bottle, 33cl, 5.1% abv) Cloudy, yellow colour with a big and slowly lacing foamy white head. Yeasty pale malty aroma with notes citrus and spicy herbal hops. Slightly sweet and bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Slightly yeasty and strawy malty taste with discreetly herbal hoppy notes; moderately dry malty and slightly hop bitter finish. 04.VII.10

(bottle) Clear, pale golden colour with a big foamy white head. Pale malty aroma with a pronounced citrus-fruity and mildly herbal hoppy touch. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a sparkling carbonation. Soft malty base with herbal and fruity hoppy accents; dry and delicately bitter finish with a good dash of aroma hops. A very pleasant Pilsener, only the carbonation is a bit harsh. 04.VII.10

The bottle looks great, really like festbier. The beer in the glass is very zippy, nice head. Starts strong and very spicy. Modest sourish in the background, that makes the beer interesting. Also some fruity notes. Finish still spicy, also a bit grasy. Very drinkable and good beer!

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Dark, almost black, nice head. Starts modest malty, a little bit sweet, not too dry. Shows fruity notes of plums and raisins. Could be a little bit drier, but still a very good dunkles!

Bottle: Deep golden, clear, big beaten-egg-white-like foam with a little lace; moderate sweet-grainy nose with a light strawy touch; moderate to solid sweetish flavour with a light bitter tinge, medium bodied, a bit sticky; light and short sweet-bitter finish. Well crafted, but very unimpressive brew....

(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a slowly lacing off-white foamy head. Sweet and slightly sour-doughy (cara-)malty nose. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly cara-malty, minimal bready taste with a discreet hops-profile; sweet and slightly bitter finish with a tinge of hops. Easy-going but also a bit profane Märzen/Festbier. 08.XII.09

bottle from biershop-bayern. Clear amber-golden colour with a dense and creamy white head (very persistent). Lovely malty nose with hints of spices. Malty background with caramel, honey, vanilla, figs and a touch of barnyard. Shy hoppy hints on the lingering finish, in which the caramel returns. A delicious Festbier with a lovely rural character.
