Bottled. Nut brown, brief head. Lots of caramel up front. Sweet with medium-full body and lots of buttery toffeeish malt. Rounded and well structured, but caramel and butterscotch are very dominant.

Milder Getreideantrunk mit dezenter Säuerlichkeit. Spritzig, feinherb im Mittelteil werdend, die Säuerlichkeit nimmt zu und wird im Abgang zur Herbe. Hier ist das Bier außerdem deutlich würziger, im Vergleich zu anderen Hellen ist es immer noch mild. Test vom 16.2.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,7,9,8,6,9 - 8,50

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Quite dark, intense aroma. Flavor very strong, a little bit fruity. Finish malty. Good beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Slightly hazy, orangey brown with a creamy, beige head. Fruity, vinous aroma with roasted malts and fresh rye bread. Full body, sweetish roasted malt with notes of sherry and overripe fruit. A lightly bitter finish. Very delicious indeed. 191207

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a very cloudy golden with an off-white head. Very perfumy, hubbabubba-ish nose. Good, solid body with a little yeast and a little citrus and a distinct alcohol in the finish. Excellent. 201107

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orange and with a dense white head. Aroma is bubblegum and slight wheaty. Flavour starts quite sweet and with a nice fruity flavour. The classic bubblegum notes disappear in the sweetness, which works quite nice. Ends with a bit of bitterness.

(bottle, best-before: Oct.07) Slightly hazy, chestnut-brown colour with a medium-sized beige foamy head. Sweet, roast-malty aroma with chocolate, caramel and liquorice. Sweet flavour with some burnt bitterness, medium to full bodied, smooth carbonation. Chewy roast-malty taste with dried fruits, light notes of caramel and chocolate/cacao; sweet and roast-bitter, slightly vinous-fruity finish with a warming alcoholic note. I had the opportunity to compare the fresh bottle with an older one (bb: July 06), which was more fruit-accented, more vinous, even a bit more complex, rounder and softer.
