Broken white head, reduced in secs to white rim; dark, chestnut-brown beer. Lactic nose, sweet milk, faint nutty, very aromatic. Sweet, much like sweet worts, with both a tinge of acidity and bitterness. This last builds up a bit, but "Traubenzucker"-sweetness keeps firmly on top. Bready, woody palate, hint at bitter-adstringency that sits extemely uneasy on the main sweet components. Bit fizzy mouthfeel, soft-drink like. Given this blind, I would never think 4.4% ABV; but guess a German Malztrunk - alcoholfree wortsbeverage. The sweetness is too omnipresent, and makes in difficultly drinkable.

Dark amber color. Sweet, rotten aroma. Sweet, plastic note; just some caramel and a slightly metallic finish. Drinkable because of the sweetness, but a big mistake!

Sampled draught Berliner Bier-Festival.
Dark mahogany colour, no head. Vey sweet and honeyish. A tad roasty but the honey dominates. Soft, rounded mouthfeel and clean, sugary finish. A weak variety of Baltic, most likely bottom fermented porter.
