Tap at Frisches Bier in Munich. Moderate malty nose, then a fantastic big roasted malt flavor. Like an evening coffee with a perfect blend of hops: the Amarillo blends in great with the malt combination and isn't overpowering. Recommended for dark beer lovers.

On tap at Vultures Lane. Pours hazy gold orange. Sage, real herbal aroma, capsicum, peach, lactose, orange peel. Medium body, perhaps a touch over carbonated and without the softness I expect from the style. Not great.

Bottle @ Taptap tasting, thanks FatPhil. Clear golden pour, white foam. Caramel nose, grainy and some glazed sugar coated fruits. Sweetish as you can probably tell by now from my first descriptors. Taste has also that sweetness, hops feel bit faded although I don't think this beer is old. Medium bitterness. Somewhat unclear and messy finish. OK.
