Flasche: Deep golden, hazy, medium-sized and slowly collapsing white head, moderate bitter-sweet grainy nose with distinctive traces of brown bread and piney hops; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, lingering hoppy and (brown-) bready finish. Chapeau! A very tasty version of this all in all boring style, a bit similar to a good Düsseldorf Altbier...

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass dark black, small head. Spicy roasty malty aroma. Some bacon. Starts intense malty, modest roasty-smokey, a bit soapy, some very interesting herbal notes. Reminds me a bit of cough syrup. Not too sweet. Finish well balanced, still soapy-malty in a good way. Very interesting one!

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts mild, malty, spicy. Shy fruity notes of apricot. Well balanced finish, mild sweetness. Not bad.

Bottle from Sonnenschein. Smooth mild beginning. Soft caramel, moderate sweetish with a nice fruity bitterness in the end. Long mild fruity aftertaste with floral fresh parts, grainy bitterness in the end with caramelly grainy sweetness. Nice.

Brown. Aroma is ugly weird moldy meat, salty, some grapes maybe. Mostly meat-fat. Taste is really nothing with a little sweetness. Finish of juicy meaty umami salt. Also the Aroma from before. Ugly.

0.33 bottle. Dark brown, aroma like peat smoked meat / Laphroaig soapy aroma but gone off a bit. Flavor is not as bad as the first whiff would suggest, definitely peaty somehow, but a brewing failure? or something wrong with the mix of hops, smoke, and malt. Very weird.

Bottle. Dark brown, light hazy, low brown head. Terrible meaty iodine aroma. Huge smoked fish notes, roast, medium full mellow body, burned farm, peat, somehow unbalanced smoke, especially in the aroma.
