Aroma has nuts and roasted malt. Also some toffee and cola. Flavour has chocolate, roasted malt and nuts. A solid, chocolatey dunkler bock.

Bottle shared by Niklas. Dark brown with cream off white head. Caramel aroma and taste with some roast, dark fruits and brown sugar. Quite nice with a roasted turkey, but bland to drink by itself.

Fairly sweet. Lots of mocha, caramel, molasses and dark cherries in the mouth, but a bit too sweet for my liking, but really great depth.

Many thanks to kappldav123 for this bottle. Pours a a dark golden color. The aroma has notes of flowers, bread, light grass and malt. The flavor has a light sweetness and the same notes as the aroma.

And again big big thank you to kappldav123 for that bottle. Dark golden in the glass, huge head. Starts fresh, malty, grain, low but present bitterness. High carbonated. Sweet aftertaste. Could also rise under the flag of a Märzen. Nice one.

Many thanks to kappldav123 for this bottle! The beer starts smooth-malty, fresh. Slightly sweetish. Very smooth-malty, a bit too sweetish, malty-plain in the ending, nearly no bitterness. Sweetish-sticky on the tongue. Highly drinkable.

Bottle looks simple but really good. Maybe the label should tell what the beer is brewed for (675 anniversary of Ehrenfriedersdorf). As far as I know only 100 cases made which sold out in 2 days. Beer in the glass deep golden, nice head. Starts mild but not washy, fine malty, more and more spicy with some wheaty-grasy notes. Modest dry background. Easy to drink, fine malty-spicy aftertaste. Maybe for a festbier it could have been a bit stronger.

Flasche (MHD: 1/2015) von einem Edeka in Ehrenfriedersdorf. - Rotgold, klar, kurzlebiger Schaum. - In der Nase pappig-süßes Karamelmalz, dahinter schwacher, dumpfer, leicht käsiger Hopfen. - Im Antrunk unsauber limonadige Karamelsüße mit unappetlichen Fehlaromen, die wohl Röstmalz und Frucht darstellen sollen, aber eher an gekochten Kohl und Kindershampoo erinnern. Eher mild rezent. Im Abgang ein wenig käsiger Hopfen, immer noch überlagert von stumpfer Karamelsüße. Schwacher, matt bitterer Nachtrunk. - Scheußliche, fad süße Brühe. Habe nur mit Mühe ein paar Schlucke heruntergekriegt - man will so eine Verkostung ja standhaft durchziehen. Den Rest kriegt der Ausguß. Genug ist genug.

Flasche aus einem Edeka-Markt in Ehrenfriedersdorf. - Goldgelb, blank. - In der Nase leicht zitroniger, heuiger Aromahopfen und etwas stumpfe Süße. - Im Antrunk heuiger bis grasiger Hopfen, gefolgt von einer für ein Pils etwas zu dicken Malzsüße. Eher mild rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang leicht krautiger, grasiger, insgesamt aber wenig aromatischer Hopfen. Mäßig bitterer, etwas dumpfer Nachtrunk mit Fehlnoten von Schweineschmalz. - Eher lieblos gehopft, arm an feineren Hopfenaromen und ohne Eleganz. Und einen "visionären Nachtrunk" (M. Rudolf) habe ich hier schon gar nicht gefunden ...
