Bottle. Pale golden color. Bready soft grassy flavor. Medium to full bodied. Just a hint of butter in the aftertaste. Hints of bread dough and butter in the aroma as the beer warms up. Very Franconian.

“Mager Dunkel“, vom Faß beim Mager in Pottenstein. - Kastanienrotbraun, klar. - In der Nase neben dunklem Malz und milden Röstnoten wieder die aromatisch kräuterige Hopfennote, die auch die übrigen Biere vom Mager auszeichnet. - Mild aber aromatisch nussig-röstmalzig, zart rauchig, auf den ersten Schluck etwas dünn aber mit gediegener Hopfenherbe. Mild rezent, leicht alkalisch, angenehm trocken. - Langer, trocken-röstmalzig bitterer Nachtrunk. - Enorm stimmiges, kernig malziges Dunkles individueller Prägung. Herausragend.

Das Pils vom Mager, vom Faß im Brauereigasthof in Pottenstein. - Satt goldgelb, klar. - In der Nase aromatisch kräuteriger Hopfen. - Antrunk zart hellmalzig mit charakteristischer, kräuteriger Hopfung. Gut rezent, etwas dünn. Im Abgang nur milde Hopfenherbe. - Ein süddeutsches Pilsener, das statt kerniger Herbe milde aber ausgeprägte Hopfenaromen bei milder Restsüße bietet, aber etwas blaß daherkommt. (24.7.2018: 3,0.) Bei Wiederholung aus der Flasche (von Schmitt's Allerlei, Pottenstein) kerniger und aromatischer als ich es in Erinnerung hatte. Tiefe Malzigkeit, gut abgelagert, kräftig bittere herbal-krautige Hopfung. - Erstklassig, wie überhaupt alle Biere vom Mager. (21.8.2021: 3,4.)

(bottle) Clear, deep amber to copper colour with a beige and firm mid-sized foamy head. Slightly toasted malty aroma with present notes of caramel, a mildly bready touch and delicately herbal hops in the background. Moderately sweet and bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Slightly mineralic toast-malty taste with caramel, bread and a mildly herbal-spicy hoppy blend; balanced and lasting bitter hoppy and toast-malty finish with caramel in the aftertaste. Solid. 10.VI.18
