Aus der Flasche (bbe 02.02.2026) im 2025-10 getrunken. Dieser dunklerbrauner Bock mit stabiler beiger Schaumkrone zeigt ein tollen malzigen Charakter mit leichten Karamell und Honignoten. Ein schönes Bier!

Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks simple but okay. Beer in the glass deep golden, small head. Starts mild, malty, sweetish. Grainy-spicy notes. Finish well balanced, mild malty, wheaty-sweetish. Okay.
