On tap. Pours pitch black with a small beige head. Sweet heavy roast aroma with some dark dried fruits. Very solid body, sweet roast, sweet vanilla and again dark juicy fruits. Very subdued bitterness. Pleasant but a little too sweet. 260511

On tap. Pours deep golden with a slight haze and a lacing off-white head. Sweet malty nose. Medium body, sweet caramel, a little discreet roast and sulphur before a dry but not overly hoppy finish. Very German indeed. 260511

Pours an unimpressive white head that leaves no lacing. Brownish amber color. Mild malty aroma. Molasses and malts is what I tastes. Smooth, but not watery. Nothing at all exciting.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of straw as well as light notes of malt and citrus. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw, leading to a bitter finish. The body is somewhat thin.

500 mL bottle from Vintage Cellar. Pours a dark amber color with no head. Smells like a cider with distinct apple notes as well as some caramel. Taste is apples, bitter, bristly hops, caramel and grain. Nearly flat, but not quite. Sticky texture. Medium bodied. Drinkable, but not very pleasant.

Bronze color, barely a hint of a head, lacking effervescence and nearly flat. Spicy grassy hop nose, biscuity malts. Sweetish caramel-toffee, DMS?, lightly bitter finish. A bit dead.

Bottle, thx to Maria. A slightly unclear deep golden beer with a small off-white head. Toffeeish, sweetish nose on the malty side with some dried fruits and apricot. Pleasant malty toffeeish and bready flavor with some fruityness and a touch of oxidation and some roasted notes. Full-bodied and sweet. Nice finish with malts and a touch of oxidation. A malt-driven beer, far from extraordinary, but pleasant and easy to drink. (081127)
