0,5 l bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! BB 14.08.26. Clear dark copper in the glass light tanned stable nearly two finger foamy head. Looks really good. Malty aroma, light toasted. Taste starts malty, soft roasted, short herbal sequence. Present bitterness in the second part, mid carbonated. Not bad.

Murky dark brown with a creamy head. Roasted malt, metal, hops, roasted breadcrumbs, coffee, toffee, resin, walnuts. Hoppy metallic bitterness, some malty sweetness. Medium to full bodied, oily texture, soft to lively carbonated, dry hoppy metallic roasty malty bitter finish. A great crisp and full bodied Dunkel!

Gold with a frothy, white head. Grassy, grainy aroma. Drinking outside in the wind made sniffing difficult. Pleasant, crisp bitterness, lightly herbal and faintly citric. There’s a mild honey & white bread sweetness underneath. Medium bodied, good chewiness. Refreshing. Fresh, hoppy feel despite being near BBD. Good.

Cask at Zum Franziskaner, Stockholm. Clear golden, mid sized head. Intense grassy, spicy nose. Dry with crisp, yet soft mouthfeel. Bread and spicy grass. Long bitter finish. Hoppy, soft and drinkable.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a hazy golden with a small, white head. Grainy malt aroma. Medium body, sweet, grainy malts before a surprisingly bitter finish (for a Helles that is). 010126
