Swingtop pint bottle from Foremost Liquors, Oak Forest. Well, it’s been a rough evening: a toilet overflowed upstairs, filling the globe of a light fixture downstairs. Plumber snakes it out, I bleach two rooms and do lots of laundry. Now I can just settle down with a real "old style" beer poured in a straight .2 l Stiegel glass. My first steinbier. Didn’t think it’d be smoky, but what should I have expected with this method. Pours nice brown with gold in narrow part oif the glass. Tiny floaties visible in the glass. Smell is smoke, but not bacony like Aecht Schlenkerla. A nice caramel nose too, under a thin clingy head. Smokiness returns in the tasting; like a smoked Edam cheese. Malts are like caramel wrapped around campfire marshmallows. Just enough bitterness to keep the sweetness in check. Lots more particles toward the bottom of the glass give it something of a campfire flavor. Too bad this isn’t date-stamped; I wonder how old this one is and how it changes over time.

Bottled. Clear reddish-brown with a large beige head. Malty and nutty aroma. Flavor is a bit disappointing, just some light, sweet maltiness, with a hint of roastiness. Nice body and sweet, malty and hoppy finish. (051231)

Swing-top bottle: Dark amber coloured, thin fluffy off-white head, slowly diminishing; faint malty nose with a tinge of molasses and alcohol; shy sweet-malty start, quite dry malty body; finishes dry with a malty-veggy aftertaste and a very shy bitterness. Drinkable, not great........;too "tasteless"!

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy pilsener golden with a small head. Very malty aroma. Full and rather potent body with the heavy alcohol shining through. Sweetish malty with a short, dry finish. A decent Maibock. 271105

Bottle. Bready, dusty aroma, hint of aroma hops. Dark golden colour, semi-stable head. Flavour is a little boring with a slightly harsh aftertaste. Good mouthfeel.

Sehr malziger, schwerer Geruch. Schaumkrone hält mittellang. Im Geschmack erkennt man durchweg das malzige, maßgebende Aroma. Außerdem ist dies ein verdammt würziges Bier, gleichzeitig ist es im Nachgeschmack süßlich und recht süffig. Test vom 15.11.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,11,11,9,11,11 - 10,60

A light orange beer with a white head. The aroma is simply malty sweet. The flavor is also sweet malty leading to a dry end. OK - but very simple.

500 ml swingtop bottle, bought in Bier Spezi Hamburg. Reddish brown colour, large off-white head. Malty aroma with notes of caramel and bakery, some fruity hops too. Malty flavour with caramel and bready notes, not very sweet, spicy and fairly hoppy bitter finish. Dusty aftertaste. Okay.
