(swing top bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a short, slightly off-white foamy head. Medium-sweet honey-like and grainy malt aroma with spicy hops in the background. Bitter flavour, light to medium bodied, pleasantly smooth carbonated mouthfeel. Malty and herbal hoppy taste with a honey-ish fruity tinge; dry and bitter, moderately spicy and herbal hoppy finish. Good Keller-/Landbier.

(swing top bottle) Clear, chest bnut colour with a fluffy off-white foamy head, leaving some lace-work. Sweet, toast-malty aroma with resiny hops and a touch of barnyard. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied, moderate carbonation. Robust malt-accented taste with caramel and a rather strong alcoholic note in the finish. Aromatic but not perfectly balanced Bock.

Flip-top bottle: Clear, chestnut coloured, bigger fluffy, lacing off-white head; moderate sweet-malty nose with a distinctive "woody" hioppy touch; delicate sweet-flavour, a bit alcoholic, medium-bodied; sweet finish with a burning, brandy-like aftertaste. Not too well balanced, the alcohol is a bit too present..................

Initial flavor is moderate sweet, finish flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter, salty, and some smoke bitternes in the very end. Duration is long. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Small, yellow-amberish head over deep mahogany beer with some orange highlights. Sweet & smoked nose, slightly salty-meaty (or fishy - smoked mackerel?) but quite restrained. OTOH, an aroma of smoked honey, if that’s feasible - honey-cured ham, perhaps? Bit of Oolong tea as well. Tea (Oolong/Souchong), tea marmalade with no sugar; slight, restrained smokiness, smokesalt; fruity even with slightly bitter oranges. Warming up, I get a point of diacetyl. Quite refreshing, a bit as ice(smoked)tea, but not much depth nor body. Then, it’s only 4.9%. Nice, easy (introduction?) Rauch. For the cautious but willing novices (big grin). And another - bang! - smoked - pfffff! Danke, Sebastian!

Draught, as Fischer Schwarzbier. Black colour. Small grey head. Roasted flavour with a hint of liquorice. The aftertaste has some liquorice and is dominated by a late roast barley bitterness. Quite typical Schwarzbier, but not among the best. 7%? Certainly did not taste it.

Bügelverschlußflasche: Golden coloured, small lacing, slowly diminishing white head; clean deep grainy (doughy) sweet nose with a herbal hoppy touch; robust bitter-sweet flavour, low carbonation; dry, a bit barnyardy, grainy-malty finish with a lingering bitterness. Well crafted "rural" beer !
