50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy dark brown with a dense light tan head. Sweet breadish and light overripe fruity aroma. Flavour is sweet, almost cloyingly sweet. Roasted malt going into a breadish flavour and followed by a light spice note. Ends solid sweet and light spiced. Too sweet for my liking, the 7.3% are utterly wellhidden.

Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, nice head. Starts quite yeasty, modest fruity, a bit woody-malty. More and more dry. Finish a bit unbalanced, so not too drinkable. Had better dunkelweizens.

Bottle: Chestnut-amber to deep amber coloured , hazy, big besten-egg-white-like tanned head, typical sourish-fruity nose with cacao, toasted ˇalt and a distinctive phenolic-clovey tinge in the background; light to moderate sourish-sweetish flavour, light to medium bodied; cacao - or coffee- in the sourish-fruity finish. A bit unbalanced, a bit too sourish… the Lagers are better!

Bottle @ The Anderson, Fortrose
Hazy dark amber, rocky white head, some lacing.
Aroma of malts, bit of yeast, some light hops - not much to the nose.
Taste of pale and dark caramel malts, some hops, yeast, hint of honey.
Palate - soft carb, light to medium body, some sweet rich malts, yeast, really smooth. Finish - smooth and light bitter.
Overall - Good tasting beer with a smooth light malt finish.

Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Deep gold with a frothy white head and plenty of carbonation. Prominent cereal malt aroma,with a touch of grassy hop. Flavour had plenty more solid malts and some honeyed sweetness, leading to a decent bitter finish. Very good.
