Danke an kevnic2008. Dunkler getreidig malziger Antrunk mit leichter Süße. Herb, deutlich schokoladig, erkennbarer Alkoholgehalt. Konstant herb bleibend, was die Süße geschickt eindämmt. Weich, süffig. 7/10/11/11/9/11

0.5l bottle. Clear golden body, white head. Aroma of bread, grains, hay and a hint of sulfur. Taste of bread, grains, hay and some floral hops. The body is quite weak. The aftertaste is very grainy. Not so bad, but it’s definitely not the best of their beers.
