Wooden pin @ the Beer Table. It has a brown color. The aroma is wood/bark, faint alcohol, and it surrounded by light dark fruits. Taste is lightly syrupy sugar with dark fruits and light prunes. It finishes with a bitter finish, It really nice and very un-German. Its easy drinking yet the bitter finish gives it some real heft. There is an aspects of sweet prune in the finish as well. Very nice and I am glad I got to try this pin as opposed to the bottles.

Pour is a dark brown with a very large white head. Aroma is earthy and musty with some burnt caramel malts. Flavor is mostyl dark malts with a very roasty aftertaste. Finish is slightly bitter but very dry. Middle of the road for the style i think but mine was close to a year old and that may have had something to do with it.

Brilliantly clear dark copper body with a medium creamy off-white head that persists. Sweet light caramel and dark malt aroma. Dry munich flavor, some other dark malts, a firm dry bitter background. Medium body with fairly high carbonation.

Oh I really like this. Aroma is so heavy in melanoidins they’re branching off into all kinds of dark territory. Rum raisin, fruitcake, plummy rum, cocoa. Deep purple color, light carbonation which meant no head, but it did leave a very fine if sparse lacing in the glass. Rich melanoidins in the flavor, chewy with chocolate toffees and a date like fruitiness. Long rich bittersweet finish. Mildly warming. Smooth if slightly slick mouthfeel.

50 cL bottle, from trade with DerDoppelbock. Pours slight hazy to clear amber with a diminishing white head. Dark and dry caramel malt aroma. Flavour is medium dry, slight metallic, strong dark caramel note lending itself into a slight spice note. Mild spicy malt in the finish with a decent level of bitterness.

Gravity at the breweey. Hazy dark amber with a large off white head. Aroma had toasted malt with grassy hops. Flavor had roasted malt, grassy hops and a bitter finish. Fresher and dry. Lovely.

I was glad to get this bottle. This one looks really not spectacular - too less labels. In the glass the beer looks like a bockbier. The flavor is too sourish I think, I didn’t like it.

Bottle. Pours like a stout. Black with brown head, long lasting and thick, with a good amount of lacing. Aroma of pepper and raisins. Very hoppy taste when compared to the maltiness of the aroma. Still, a background of raisin and toffee. Interesting twist on one of my favorite styles.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel and a light note of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish.
