Bottle, thanks jonas & pivnizub! Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is yeast, pale malts. Taste is pale malts, yeast, a touch powdered sugar. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Fun, but a bit too sweet.

Shared @ Koelschtrinker's Tasting. Smooth malty beginning. Easy to drink, round and smooth but not very deep. Sessionable with hints of caramel, not much bitterness. Grain, water, sad in total.

Sampled from 0.75 l bottle, best before September 2018. Dark brown with a beige head. Sweetish-malty, a bit roasty and a little grassy-spicy aroma of caramel, toasted nuts and some straw. Moderately sweet, malty, a little roasty and minimally grassy-spicy taste of caramel, toasted nuts and some straw, followed by a short, minimally bitter, a bit roasty and slightly grassy-spicy finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

Dunkler, stark röstiger Beginn mit dezenter Süße. Schokoladenmalz, im Mittelteil schnell trocken werdend. Das drückt die Aromatik erheblich, noch wenig bitter, Schokoladenaromen sind fast gänzlich verschwunden. Sehr kurzer Nachgeschmack. 9/8/7/6/9/7

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 and Koelschtrinker for sharing. Malty beginning. Herbal hints, but not too intense. Not much bitterness, the herbs are in the aftertaste, malt there with a nice malty bitterness. Interesting but not too much herbs there.
