Bottled 500ml. -Trade with Allen (thanks Julian!) Dark brown (almost black) coloured, medium sized pale beige head, slight acidic coffee nose. Mild roasted malty, acidic coffee and some dark fruits with odd sweetish/acidic finish.

0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who got it in a trade with Allen (thanks both!) Poured an opaque brown body with a small off white head. Malty, slightly acidic odd nose, somewhat roasty and not impressive. The taste is malty, with some very pleasant oddly gluey notes, not all that roasty, slightly acidic and drinkable. Dunno, nice enough, a bit subtle, but not all that dunkel-like. You can do better. I would, however, try it again fresh.

Thanks to Allen for this one. The bottle looks simple, but really good. The beer in the glass more black than dark, small head. Starts malty and roasty, quite smoky for a dunkel, notes of bacon. Finish a bit earthy, roasty. Really nice!

Bottled, thanks Bov! Cloudy golden, small head. Fruity and mildly citrusy. Light-medium bodied with clean spritzy mouthfeel. Finishes with low bitterness. Excessive carbonation takes the edge of it.

(bottle, courtesy of Allen) Hazy, golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Fresh yeasty and pale malty aroma with aromatic citrus- and lime-fruity hops and peppery spice. Slight sweet and shy bitter flavour, slim bodied with a slightly fizzy carbonation. Pale malt-character, yeasty, mildly fruity and floral hoppy taste, pretty dry and fizzy, also noble hoppy finish. Not a perfect but quite aromatic and fresh Zwickel/Kellerbier. 19.XII.09

Bottle (Dank an Allen!): Almost clear, deep amber coloured, bigger fluffy off-white head, that slowly collapses; sweetish roast-malty nose with caramelly and chocolatey spots; solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, a bit fizzy; lingering roast-malty and smoky(!) finish, balanced by some sweet caramel and subtle fruits. A swiss goody......

(bottle) Clear, dark brown colour with a beige and loose foamy head. Sweet and roasted malty aroma, slightly ashy with notes of cacao, caramel and leather. Moderately sweet and slightly roast-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Roast-malty base with a quite dry, almost Schwarzbier-like character, accompanied by notes of cacao/chocolate; quite dry and bitter-sweet finish with a tinge of chocolate in the aftertaste. A bit fizzy but still very good. 24.XI.09

bottle, kindly delivered by Allen - Merci! Hazy deep golden colour with a persistent mid-sized white head. Extremely fragrant and flowery-fruity nose. Light- to medium-bodied, malty background with lots of aromatic and fragrant hops. Not very bitter, but very flowery and fragrant, with hints of orange zest and citrus fruit. Well-balanced and extremely interesting. Thank you, Allen!

Hazy golden color. It has an interesting aroma, of delicate German hops, grains, hay, light honey. It has a dry mouthfeel, and the flavor doesn’t match the aroma, quite common, with a hay feeling; correct bitterness; the final is slightly metallic. Can be improved.
