50 cL bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with chalk white and diminishing head. Sweet brewmash aroma. Sweetish flavour, but the added sweetener doesn’t provide the beer the sweetish body that you would get from a danish hvidtøl, which this reminds me a lot about. Clearly lacks a lasting sweetness in the finish to be any good.

Bottled. Clear nut brown, average head. Sweet and somewhat fruity with lots of saccharine, light bodied. Artificial and unpleasant with low hop rate and bitterness. Germany’s worst dunkel?

Dark nut brown color, small brownish head. Aroma of saccharin and sugars. Flavor is woody and more saccharin. Harsh finish, very unbalanced - not brewed according "Reinheitsgebot". Similar to Sinebrychoff’s Kotikalja (low alco).

Draught. Grainy, bready aroma. Very dark brown colour, small light brown head. Thin, bready flavour, slightly roasted. High carbonation. Reminds me most of all of oxidized pils with added colour.

Black beer with dark-red shine; yellow-brownish, very dense & finebubbled head, receding to rim. Very creamy nose, like coffeecream. Weakens afterwards to more coloured-malty, bready, but not sweet notes. Coffee, however... Soft sweet malts taste, with, once more, chalk. There’s no trace here for anything roasted, let alone charred. It’s just sweet, but not cloying. Light bodied, some gristslickness, "cobwebby" texture. Aw, this is not a bad Schwarz. But then, there’s really nowhere I could state "very good..."

Very thick, dirty yellow-brown head, collapsing over fully opaque, near-black beer. Remarkable salty-sweet nose, with a dash at Chinese Oystersauce. Further more classical (dark) bready aroma’s. Very fade sweet taste, with vague hints at licorice, mainly. A bit bready & malty, and somehow chalk. No salinity here, but it clearly shows its artificial sweetener. Retronasal some woody notes. Quite slick, a tad cloying. "Aus einem anderen Zeit" they say. Saccharin? Yes, they mean DDR-Zeit, and I thought this was finally over? And worse, the back label calls it "Art Oud Bruin"! SACRILEGE!
