Bottle. Light hazy orange amber with a small head. Nose is not fantastic, a bit woody and not too strong. Flavor is better than the nose, moderately sweet and lightly oaky, bit of citrus and hop bitterness.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey amber colour with small, frothy, fading, white head. Sweet-ish, fruity, malty aroma, hints of quince, a woody touch. Taste is sweet-ish, tart-ish and minimally dry, fruity, malty and minimally woody, hints of quince, orchard fruit, a touch of chestnut. Watery texture, soft and minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Nice fruitiness, don't get much oaky flavours; quite watery - so-so.

0.33 l bottle from 'Bierothek', best before December 2025. A bit hazy, amber with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly malty aroma of caramel, some honey and a touch of grains. Gently sweet, malty, slightly bitter taste of caramel, honey and some grains, followed by a short, slightly bitter, a bit dry finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Again my expectations were high, but this series of forest beers keeps disappointing me. It's quaffable and pleasant and therefore far from bad, but it doesn't provide for anything special either.

Bereits das 10. Waldbier, das eigentlich recht einfach war. EIchenfassgereifte Biere sind jetzt nicht besonders neu, also sticht dieses Bier jetzt nicht besonders heraus. Es ist fein aromatisch und hat schöne, frische beerige Noten, es fehlt mir aber die Besonderheit. Daher halte ich es eher nur für mittelmäßig.

330 ml bottle, bb Dez 2025. Orange, medium hazy body, with a small, yellowish head. Aroma of wooden barrel, honey, toffee, some dried fruits, moderate spices. Tastes pretty similar. Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes wooden, medium sweet, spicy, a bit fruity, with honey, toffee. Nice one. Feels a bit like a light Barley Wine, with the barrique quite prominent, while also sweets malts and some spicy character. Drinks quite balanced and smooth, but I'm missing some more character or complexity. Score: 7 / 4 / 7 / 3 / 14

Fruity fresh beginning. Hints of grain with a nice and caramelly smooth malty touch. There are fruity berries in the back, nice harmonizing with the caramel. Fruity and slightly sweetish malty. Nice, but too less Elsbeere there.

Bottle as a gift from my brother. Hazy blond colour, white foam. Nose of sweet malts, spices, some hops. Taste is rather oxidized, some herbal notes (juniper?), a bit citrussy. Ok, not very nice.

Weich herber Beginn. Mild holzig-fruchtig, ansteigend würzig von geringem Level aus, könnte insgesamt intensiver sein. Kurzer, mild holziger Abgang. Gut trinkbar. 10/8/11/9/8/8
