Bügelverschlußflasche: Deep mahagony coloured, a bit unclear, big and stable creamy off-white head, slightly "green" worty nose, caramel and dark to toasty malt in the bachground, grassy-herbal hops as well; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied and really soft; lingering caramelly-nutty finish with certain fruitiness, followed by a mild, but distinctive balancing bitterness in the aftertaste.
