0.5l bottle. Black body with a huge beige head. Aroma of bread, cocoa, caramel and cherries. Taste of cocoa, cerries, plums and caramel. Very nice beer. It has been a while since I had a schwarzbier, but after this one maybe I start to keep an eye on this style.

0.5l bottle. Clear golden body, thin white head. Aroma of bread, cheese and earthy hops and some citruses. Taste of bread, yeast, grains and some floral hops. Thin bodied and a bit flat. So far this is the beer I like the least from them.

gift from kapusil, many thanks! hazy yellow colour, medium sized dense white head; aroma of grains, wet bread, barnyard and earthy notes, maybe some peach-like fruitiness, too; taste of malty-syrupy (honey) sweetness, some fresh hops, minimal spiciness and even some mild souris notes; very refreshing kellerbier! I like it!

0.5l bottle. Clear golden body with a white foam. Aroma of bread, pears and some spicy hops. Taste of bread, grains and spicy hops. It’s hoppier than an average helles. Simple beer, but I like it.

T42 tasting on me Birfaday. Thanks to the Fergus German rot box. Light haze on this paleish gold beer, short lived pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, mildly dry and has modest fine carbonation. Mild floral sweetness. Whisper of paper in the otherwise clean pale malts. Trace of citrus peel. Light dry finish. Muted but okay.
