Bottle bought @ Landbierparadies. Pours tiny hazy golden with a rather small frothy white head that leaves some sparse trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is slightly malty, grainy and floral with freshly baked white bread, whole grain crackers, cereal, hay, lilacs, honey, minerals and lemon peal. Taste is sweet, tiny bitter, malty and floral. Mouthfeel is soft, round, tiny crisp and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and tiny bitter with whole grain crackers, cereal, honey, hay, dried flowers, minerals and lemon peal. Bit sweet but the malt base gives me goosebumps. This also works extremely well with fatty food (having it with some Fuet salami). I very much love the honey character. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ur-Hell on 12 Sep 2015 at 20:04 - Score: 8. Original review text: Magical malt depth. Lilacs, honey and freshly baked bread. World class lager!

Zwart bier met veel schuim. Gedronken van het vat in de brauereigaststätte. Smaak is bitter en kruidig met iets van caramel en chokolade. Erg goed bier.

Bottled, from Landbierparadies. Clear deep golden, rocky head. Spicy nose with Earl Grey tea. Mid sweet with medium body and soft, deep malt profile. Gentle, yet rich. Mouthfilling seemless flavour of dough, spice and tea. Long growing bitterness. A lager of extraordinary quality. Never had a bottled helles with this much depth.
