Bottle bought @ bierkompass.de. Pours hazy deep dark reddish brown with rather small offwhite head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty with toasted malts, dark bread, caramel, toffee, butterscotch hard candy, vanilla fudge, charred wood, hay, moist soil, roasted coconut, caramelized almonds and minerals. Taste is slightly sweet, bitter and malty with dark bread, caramel, vanilla fudge, charred wood, prunes, raisins, hay, moist soil, hazelnuts and bourbon alcohol. Mouthfeel is fat, round, tiny dry, very tiny tart, tiny boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is tiny sweet and bitter with dark bread, caramel, vanilla fudge, charred wood, moist soil, hay, hazelnuts and hints of bourbon alcohol and lemon zest. Beefy malt bomb! Enjoyable...

Amber, cloudy, decent, light floral nose, has light earthy taste, quite yeasty, and overall balanced and unexciting. Not much rye and no bock.

How could I not like this one? Hazy blonde, thin head. Fruity, orangey creamsicle character. Medium bitterness, fresh hoppy and citric bitter finish. Good balance.

Cloudy, light amber. Aroma is light fruity character, with a fair bit of yeastiness. Stale malts, bitter, has some yeastiness, and I figure the rye chewiness is ok.

Etwas trockener, mild schokoladiger Antrunk. Im Mittelteil wässrig wirkend, süßlich. Zum Ende schokoladiger, insgesamt aber mild bleibend. Wenig würzig, spritzig, entäuschende Intensität. 7/10/9/9/8/9

Dunkles, ziemlich trockenes Hopfenaroma zu Beginn, das seine blumigen Noten erst im Mittelteil offenbart. Wenig herb, dafür stärker bitter, durchweg getreidig. Süßlich blumiges Ende, in der die trockene Bitterkeit weniger hart erscheint. Wenig süffiges aber doch harmonisches Bier. 11/11/9/11/9/12
