Vom Faß im Kathi-Bräu (28.9.2013). - Wurde deutlich zu kalt serviert. Daher anfangs nur leicht säuerlich-pikanter Antrunk, sonst wenig Geschmack. Brausig-dünn. Erst mit zunehmender Erwärmung kommen schöne nussig-röstmalzige Aromen zur Geltung. Im Nachtrunk kaum Hopfen, leicht säuerlich. - Kathi-Bräu mag unter Motorradfahrern Kultstatus genießen, aber dieses Bier ist bestenfalls durchschnittlich. Franken hat weit Besseres zu bieten.

Clear deep brown beer, irregular creamy light beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. aroma: coffee, some dark caramel, toast, bit of chocolate. Mf: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: grains, hay, toast, mocha, little bitter, hoppy, some caramel. Aftertaste: fudge, caramel, mocha, bit hoppy, chocolate, grains and hay. Very German signature, but pretty complex and interesting.

Würzig malziger Antrunk, dunkel, voll. Schokoladig, weich, tief malzig. Rund, leichte Bitternoten zum Ende. Gut! 11/12/12/11//11

Draught at the brewpub. Dark brown colour. Good stable creamy tan head. The flavour is slightly bready in the good way, resembles rye, but probably is not. OK mouthfeel, slightly creamy.
