(bottle) Hazy, dark brown colour with a ruby shine and a mid-sized tanned foamy head. Slightly yeasty, dark and mildly roasted malty aroma with notes of anise, cacao, liquorice and leather, accompanied by subtle fruity hints and a whiff of smoke. Sweet and delicately bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a calm carbonation. Slightly earthy dark malt-character with liquorice, dark chocolate and a vaguely fruity touch; mildly sweet and roasty bitter finish with a tinge of acidity at the very end, as well as a perfectly muted alcoholic strength. A very complex brew, also quite balanced. 06.VI.13

Bottle, Red amber, golden foam. Light flowery, berry aroma with a salt and wood characteristic. Light minerally malt entry, berry, light citrus notes, restrained tartness - apple, salt, wooden in the finish. Medium light dry body, ok chewyness. Light flavored, the Gose characteristics do not jump out at you.

Recht milder Antrunk, leichtes Milchsäurearoma. Weiter mild säuerlich, erfrischend, vielleicht etwas monoton. 8/8/9/9//9
