My notes say: "Huusbier Dunkel", I am not sure if this is their "Altbier" or not (website says about altbier that it is "Ein fein-herbes, kräftiges Dunkel-Bier"). Dark nut brown color, decent beige head. Unclean toffee and cold coffee in the nose. Milk coffee flavor with some coffee beans and chocolate. Flavors fade away quickly. Their tastiest beer, but this one is not real gem either.

Hazy pale yellow color, small creamy white head, lace. Same unclean wheat bun aroma than in the wheat beer plus some fruity notes. Medium-bodied, but mainly tasteless. Some notes of crackers and unfermented sugars. Very characterless brewpub beer.

Hazy orange color, creamy off-white head. Unclean wheat bun and mango in the aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Light banana and mango flavors, lime in the aftertaste. wheaty, a bit crisp in the finish and that’s it. Beer has decent body, but not much is going on in palate.

Hazy dark amber color with a red hue; creamy head, with the foam sticking on the glass. Very light aroma of roasted malt. The body is just one notch above the Huusbier’s, but still not sufficient, with light flavor of sugar and burnt sugar (more bitter than ordinary caramel). In the end the bitterness given by the roasted malt and hop is disturbing, lost in the sea without malt support. I think they have a problem with the malt here…
I got information from the waitress that some of the beers are still brewed at Back & Brau (ancient owner of the premises), as they still use their beermats.

Hazy orange color. Delicate but quite nice hoppy aroma. The taste has some fresh fruitness, followed by a medium hop impact with some qualities; unfortunately, almost immediately, the body reveals to be very weak, with an extreme poor and short final; at least, the malt is missing, only some hop oils are left.
