Bottle from Rewe Bamberg and drunk with Nelson deep gold beer slight haze lasting cream head. Some malt I'm the mouth some honey sweetness. Light hop on the finish. A slightly malty kellerbier with some decent sweetness and a building hop presence on the finish. It's super drinkable as Mark said.

Klare goldgelbe Farbe, mittelporige mäßig stabile Schaumkrone. In der Nase ausgeglichen, hellmalzig und blumig-hopfige. Im Geschmack ebenfalls relativ malzig, eher trocken, deutliche gut integrierte Hopfenbittere, schlanker Körper, eher wenig Kohlensäure, ziemlich süffig. Insgesamt sehr stimmig.

Für ein Festbier eine überraschende haselnussbraune Farbe, gemischtporige relativ stabile Schaumkrone; in der Nase sehr malzig (Blockmalz), leicht würzig, schokoladig und ein süßlicher Eindruck; im Geschmack dominiert ganz klar das Malz, auch leicht röstmalzig, deutliche Süße, leicht würzig, etwas Karamell, mittlerer Körper, zunächst milde im Nachtrunk jedoch deutliche Bittere, flacht am Ende leider etwas ab. Insgesamt ein stimmiges, süffiges Bier.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is smoked meat, caramel, bready malt, hint of tar. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Well-balanced and smooth Rauchbier, really good.
