Süßlicher, tief malzerner Geruch. Das Bier schmeckt malzig, aber im Vergleich zu anderen Schwarzbieren eher verhalten. Deutlicher ist die süßliche Note zu erkennen. Mit der Zeit wird das Bier noch malziger, wird mir aber nie kräftig genug, zumal es im Nachgeschmack komplett verschwindet. Dort, wie sich im Mittelteil ankündigt, ist das Bier überaus wässrig. Das ist sehr schade, Potential ist vorhanden. Nicht zu süß, dezent herb, leicht hopfig - nur leider nicht würzig genug, dafür ist es zu wässrig. Test vom 25.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,9,9,5,10,9 - 8,75

Bottle: Pale golden coloured, big fluffy head, slowly collapsing; distinctive grainy-dusty and grassy nose; light to moderate bitter flavour, light bodied; lightly grassy-bitter finish with traces of pale malt. A rather mediocre Pils, the "noblesse" (noble = edel) is hardly detectable............

(bottle, with a Danke Schön @ pivnizub) Clear, pale golden colour with a big and quite stable foamy white head. Medium-sweet strawy grainy aroma with a touch of honey and shy traces of hops. Very light-bitter flavour, light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Soft malty, slightly grainy taste; dry malty and light bitter, shy herbal hoppy finish. Clean, but boring.
