Bügelverschlußflasche von Stefan: Very deep amber coloured, bigger beaten-egg-white-like tanned head; solid toasty caramelly nose with fruity and mainly chocolatey aromas; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, soft; lingering chocolatey-toasty finish, becomes drier towards the end. Chapeau! An unexpected gem from the GDR.....

bottle from the brewery (mail-order). Deep brown colour, large beige head. Aroma of caramel and chocolate. Full-bodied, malty, lots of caramel and chocolate. Not as dry and cardboardy as many East German Schwarzbiers, this one is well balanced and full of good flavours. A delicious example of the style!

bottle. Cloudy pale amber yellow colour, large white head. Wheaty nose. Wheaty, slightly fruity, grainy, hints of cheese, bread. Intersting, smooth palate - enjoyable beer, one of the few examples of the style that does not taste of banana and bubblegum.

(swing top bottle, with thanks to Quack-Duck) Deep brown, almost black colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Slightly sugary sweet and roasted malty aroma with distinctive notes of dark and milk-chocolate, accompanied by a herbal and ethereally touch. Balanced roasty bitter and sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a pleasantly calm carbonation. Roasty malty taste with notes of chocolate, liquorice and herbal accents; sweet and roasty bitter, quite balanced and lasting finish. A pleasure; like a bottom-fermented Sweet Stout. 16.III.11

(swing top bottle) Slightly hazy, chestnut-brown colour with a medium-sized and slightly beige foamy head. Sweet and slightly toasted malty aroma with notes of chestnuts, biscuits and traces of vanilla. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly harsh carbonation. Mildly toasty malty and nutty taste with caramel, biscuity/bready accents and a herbal touch; sweet-bitter toast-malty and delicately herbal hoppy finish. All in all a pleasant Dunkel. 16.III.11

bottle from the Brauhaus (mail order). Clear pale yellow, large white head. Surprisingly shy aroma of hops. Crunchy malty base, biscuity, hints of honey with lots of aromatic hops, grassy-resiny. Well-balanced, a good one!
