Eingetrübt rötlich bräunliche Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Malzig fruchtiger Geruch. Geschmacklich malzig, fruchtig mit Karamell, leicht grasig hopfig. Mittlere bis hohe Süße mit mittlerer Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

Pours dark brown, still slightly clear, with about two fingers of off-white head. Decent retention and little lacing. A nicely deep and quite vivid aroma: good malty depth, with nuttiness taking the main stage, pretty vivid roastiness with a rather clean coffee note, lighter notes of dark bread and caramel. A slight hint of fruitiness and the slightest spicy hint on the back of things. Feels pleasantly warming despite the not too high abv. Taste notes more or less follow the aroma, with roastiness now not so evident and perhaps a bit less intensity. There's a slight sweet edge in the mouth, while the roasted note, along with a hint of coffee, is more evident in the finish. Finish/aftertaste is very well balanced in sweet/bitter terms, with a light fruity reminiscence. Medium or slightly sub-medium bodied, with light, delicate carbonation. The beer goes down super easily for the abv, maybe even a bit too much; i was maybe hoping for a bit more creaminess. Overall a very interesting strong dunkel/schwarz, indeed not too typically bavarian and closer in taste to a tmavy special.
