bottle, brought to me by my parents - Dankeschön! Clear deep dark black colour, dense and creamy brownish-beige head. Looks like oil floating into my glass. Deliciously malty nose. Full-bodied, flavours of malt, roasetd malt, coffee, dark chocolate and cocoa powder, combined with a shy fruityness of dark dried fruits, raisins, prunes... Lingering finish with a shy touch of aromatic hops. Perfectly balanced, a delicious brew.

11.2oz bottle picked up in Wisconsin. Classic European Pilsener taste, crisp and clean. Quite healthy carbonation, bubbles like a soda. Sweet malty brewery aroma. Delicate balance. Straightforward stuff, but done quite well. Very enjoyable beer, worth stocking up on if you are in Switzerland.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Pours an opaque black with a rough beige head. Sweetish aroma of hard roasted malts and some oak. Solid body with plenty of roasted malts and dried fruit - even an oaky touch. A little low in carbonation and the bitterness is subdued. Quite lovely. 220808

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with a huge amount of floaties and a white head. Very spicy aroma with some resin. Medium-bodied with a little sweetish malt, very spicy with resin and ginger - but it’s probably just the hemp. The finish is dry with a subdued bitterness. Quite interesting and lovely really - I usually dig these hemp beers. 180808

Bottle. It pours an almost black body, really, really brown, topped by a small tan head. Butterscotch, burnt malt and coffee in the aroma. The flavor is much the same, with a coffee-bitter finish and a good dash of sweetness. Medium body. Not my kind of beer, too much butterscotch for that, but easy to drink. (080822)

(swing top bottle) Hazy, pale golden colour with a fluffy white foam. Slightly dusty, sweet malty and soft grainy aroma with faint hoppy notes. Light-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Quite one-dimensional minimal yeasty and light grainy taste with a slightly sweet and slim malty finish. Boring (17.10.07).
