(bottle) Hazy, almost copper colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Roasty malty aroma with notes of caramel, walnuts, dark bread and a tinge of spicy hops in the background. Roasty bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation. Robust roasty malt-character with notes of walnuts, caramel and cacao, accompanied by mildly herbal accents leading into a dry and roasty bitter finish with present notes of dark chocolate in the aftertaste. A very flavourful, not too sweet Dunkel from Franconia. 16.I.13

Bottle (excavated by Stefan!!!): Hazy, deep reddish-amber coloured, bigger stable tanned fluffy head, moderate to solid roasty-walnutty nose, forgotten hops detectable, molecular chocolatey traces show up as well; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, nearly medium bodied; dry nutty-toasty finish with fruity traces. Wow, what a fine, fine session beer from - what else - Franconia....

bottle from Landbierparadies. Clear deep brown colour, mid-sized beige head. Dark malts, caramel, shy sweet ness combined with a nice hoppy touch, quite aromatic, resiny-grassy. A very nice and rather dark Festbier. More of a Dunkel than a Märzen.

Säuerlich-malziger, sehr weicher Antrunk. Die Säuerlichkeit wirkt zur Beginn noch ungewohnt, mit der Zeit gewöhnt man sich jedoch daran und merkt, dass sie zum Bier passt. Das Malz ist hier zwar die Hauptnote, sie wird aber immer wieder durch die Säuerlichkeit beeinflusst. Im Verlauf wird das Bier deutlich milder, zum Ende das erste Mal bitter. Das Malz ist dabei trocken und weist Kaffeenuancen auf. Im Nachgeschmack ist das Bier stärker malzfixiert. 9/9/9/9/9/9

Das Festbier gleicht dem Export enorm, so ist auch hier eine deutliche Säuerlichkeit zu vernehmen, die aber nicht an die des Exports heranreicht. Auch ist die Malzigkeit etwas stärker, dementsprechend das Bier besonders im späteren Teil würziger. Insgesamt ist das Bier runder, vor allem die toffeeartige Röstigkeit im Abgang gefällt, die Säuerlichkeit kann das Aroma hier nicht beeinflussen. Rundes Bier, das gefällt. 7/11/11/12/9/11
