Aus der Flasche in einem Restaurant in Bochum. Dunkles Bernstein, klar. Aroma: Karamell. röstig, etwas nussig. Geschmack: Malzsüsse, leicht fruchtig. Wenig bitter, wenig überzeugend.

Amber beer, small head. Aroma is malt, old, oxidated. Taste is the same, caramel, sweet, bitter. Ok

Golden, small head. Aroma is malt, dough, fruity. Taste the same, bitter, dry, sweet, nice.

0.33 bottle, mhd 30.01.19. fantastic long lasting head, cloudy amber not quite right for a pils but maybe fine as a Bock variant. Syrupy/estery aroma. Flavor has an (all too common) tangy too-sweet-for-me Bock taste. Decently balanced by hop bitterness. Stroopwaffel, honey, herbal bitters.

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from local 'trinkgut', best before March 2019. Clear, golden with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, moderately grassy-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Minimally sweet, fairly dry, moderately grassy-spicy taste of grains and some straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, rather dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Okay, not bad for what it is.

0.3 l on tap at 'Fiege's Stammhaus'. Clear, very dark reddish brown to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, a little roasty and minimally fruity aroma of caramel, toasted nuts, some licorice and faint hints of raisins. Medium sweet, malty, slightly roasty taste of caramel, toasted nuts, some dark chocolate, a touch of licorice and traces of raisins, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, a bit earthy-dry finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice Schwarzbier with a good balance and a very pleasant mouthfeel. Looking at my own ratings, it appears to me that Fiege beers are somehow way better from tap than from bottle.

0.3 l on tap at 'Fiege's Stammhaus'. Clear, golden with a medium large, dense, stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains and some straw. Slightly sweet, very mild, just moderately grassy-spicy taste of grains, some straw and faint hints of citrus, followed by a short, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid Lager, very quaffable, very pleasant.

Heller, herb getreidiger Beginn, wenig aromatisch. Dann nimmt die Intensität aber deutlich zu, feine Herbe, geringe Süße. Deutlicher als zuvor getreidig, zum Ende leicht bitter. Nett. 8/10/10/10/11/10
