Bottle picked up from Sulzberger Bierhaus, Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm and consumed at home listening to ByteFM and we warmed up a homemade Chicken Dhansak with a Spicy Rice and Samosas and Nan Bread. Had this Wednesday 22nd January 2025. Pours warm gold, good clarity, good sized white head a little biscuit on the otherwise malty nose. There is a nice balance to this, decent bittersweetness, a pleasant caramel vein, subtle happiness, nice.

Bottle. Interesting story here. I got this one on a vacation three years ago to Virginia or somewhere that direction. My phone had died so I threw the label in my suitcase to rate later. Well, I forgot about it. So, I got my suitcase out to go on a trip and there it was. I believe it was dark and tasted like a good German doppelbock. That's all. TNT

Bottle from lowcostbeer.com, consumed 3 months past BBE. Clear gold with small rather fizzy white head with minimal retention. Aroma is sweet with cereal; notes, hint of bread and light fruit hop. Taste again is quite sweet, grainy, some floral resin, reasonable bitterness with a slight herbal edge. Light to medium bodied but manages to feel watery on the palate, carbonation is ok. It doesn't quite work but is more than drinkable.

Bottle 0,5ltr: Clear golden coloured brew with an crispy hoppy taste and faintly hints of citrus. German bottomfermented how it supposed must to be brewed.

Bottle 0,33 ltr: Clear golden coloured brew with an medium dry bitter taste with slightly hints of lemon.

Dunkelbraun und trüb im Glas. Schaumentwicklung OK. Geschmacklich haben wir etwas Dunkelmalz, etwas gekochte Früchte, ein Hauch Schokolade und florale Noten. Spuren von Spekulatius lassen sich erahnen. Geschmacklich ist das gut, könnte aber ruhig noch etwas intensiver sein. Die Kohlensäure ist zu scharf eingestellt - weicher wäre besser. Anständiges dunkles Weizen - hat aber ein paar Verkostungen gebraut, bis ich das Bier wertschätzen gelernt habe. Die ersten 1 - 2 Mal fand ich es eher unterdurchschnittlich.

Clear blond colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. Light sweet malty, notes of toast, a bit grassy. Light sweet, easy drinkable. Thanks Martin!

50cl bottle at home. From KCM Jumbo, Vantaa. Poured clear and golden in color. Grainy malts, hay and some sweetness. Pretty basic, nicely drinkable.
