Bottle from the brewery. Looks good. Beer in the glass dark brown, small head. Intense malty-spicy sweetish aroma. Starts quite strong, malty, light alcoholic, sweetish. Some notes of liquorice, some chocolate. Notes of several sweets. Finish well balanced. Quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!

Yes, of course a bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot mate! Cloudy copper with a small fast fading head in the glass. Malty grainy smell. Taste has grainy caramel, some nuts, little bit toasted. Mid alcoholic bitterness. Not bad for a Heller Bock.

Bottle at home. Looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Dry malty aroma. Starts mild, malty, yeasty hints. Light alcoholic background. Spicy-malty finish, light herbal touch. Okay.

Next gem out of the treasure box from kappldav123. Thanks a lot mate! Great bottle design and label art. Dark red brown in the glass, smallest to no head as expected. Malt and rum on the nose, but not boozy. Taste starts woody, dark malt and increasing rum, now getting smooth alcoholic. Berry fruits in the background. Really nice balanced stuff with drinkability. Beer of the night.

Again thanks a lot to kappldav123 for this 0,33 l swing top bottle. Murky flat amber in the glass, some bigger sediments. One finger foamy head. Salty caramel smell with some honey and vinegar. Starts starts also fruity, winery with salty background. Smooth and slick. Little bit tard. Low carbonated. Nice interpretation.

Bottle from the brewery. Strange bottle format, but looks good. Beer in the glass amber coloured, small head. Intense malty alcoholic aroma. Starts strong, but not as alcoholic as exspected. Some woody notes, some fruity hints as well. Some dried fruits. Finish warming-malty, well balanced. Quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!

Darker brown. Aroma is smoked ham some thick caramel brown sugar and hints of red berries. Taste is sweet caramel malt with a base of umami smoke. Rich. A little minerally. Slight metallic aftertaste. Ok.
