Bottle, 5.1%. Pale yellow colour, small white head. Tiny floaties. The aroma is slightly citric.Flavour is also citric with a hint of malt and dust. Low bitterness. Mild and refreshing, but not too flavourful.

Bottle: Clear amber coloured, big fluffy, stable off-white head; sweet, caramelly, dark-malty, toasted-malty nose with supporting aromatic hops in the wings; robust sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium-bodied; drier malty and roasted-bitter finish with impressions of cough-syrup in the aftertaste. A fine, well balanced stuff........

(bottle) Clear, mahogany colour with a thick beige foamy head, quite persistent and slowly lacing. Sweet, a bit sugary toast-malty aroma with light notes of caramel, a subtle fruity tinge of dried fruits and an aromatic, slightly herbal, slightly floral hoppy blend. Bitter and moderately sweet flavour, slightly roasted malty taste with caramel and chocolate; medium bodied with a pleasant carbonation; almost dry, moderately roasted and quite bitter finish. A quaffable Porter from Germany.

Bottle. Pale golden, lacing white head. Toasted, light dusty malt nose, overlaid by metallic hops. Light dusty and nutty malt base, cheap hop counterpoint. thin and tinny. Sarkly and refreshing but not much else.
