Tap. Amber color with white head. Aroma is slightly smoked. Taste is the same, with a nice smoked juicy malts feeling. Low carbonation, very nice! As the brewmaster says, between Schlenkerla and Spezial. This one is a very nice Smoked!

Bottle: (ottos mops hopst fort): Clear, just deep golden - not very Dunkel - loose and slowly collapsing off-white head; sweetish nutty nose, shy traces of hops underneath, some "metal" as well; mild sweetish flavour with traces of a faint and tart bitterness; light to medium bodied; gets drier and more tart in the short bitter and sweet finish. Not the best Dunkel...

Flavour is delicate smoke, malt, low sweet leading to a bitter end, a bit watery, easy to drink and fresh, amazing! Light body, medium carbonation. Amazing brew!

Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is bananas, wheat, yeasty, and phenolic esters. Taste is bubblegum, milky yeasts, mineralic, dusty. Watery-milky mouthfeel. Quite dull to be honest.
