500ml bottle, thanks to djoeye for sharing. Clear dark brown body, patches on the surface, clingy lacing. Sweet aromas of honeyed malts and dark berries. Dark malty sweetness to the taste buds, added by dark berries. Ends rather sweet and malty. Rounded mouthfeel. So and so. (Rating session with Finn and djoeye, PivotekaH7, Tromsø 20.01.2021).

Spandert av djoeye. Delt med ham og Rune i H7. Ultramørkebrun. Filmskum med litt farge. Lett brøddeigaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smake brød & urter. Søt.

Actually a quit nice full bodied clean true to german style dark wheat. Not perfect, but the super creamy body is nice and unique. Simmel adventkalendar

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

4/8/2020. Can courtesy of Mart, cheers! Pours clear dark amber brown with a good size off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, bready, touch metallic. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, watery texture, average carbonation. Finished a bit sticky and slightly meaty. Not the worst!

Can 500ml
Clear amber colour, medium-sized off-white head. Aroma has straw, caramel, grain and metal. Light-bodied. Metal, some grain, grass and caramalt in the flavour. A bit unclean vibe. This is kind of amber lager/Vienna.
