24/1/2020. Bottle courtesy of Boris, cheers! Pours clear pale gold with an average size white head. Aroma of malt, grain, yeast, fruit and light herb. Medium sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Sweet fruity finish. Not bad.

500ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Slightly grainy, strawy, pale malty aroma, a minimally spicy, bready touch, waxy, leafy hoppy and doughy yeasty overtones. Taste is doughy yeasty, slightly strawy and grainy pale malty, subtle malty spiciness, waxy, leafy and minimally fruity hoppy overtones with diluted hints of apricot. Creamy texture, smooth and soft palate. A bit anaemic, but with rather paradigmatic Dampfbier characteristics; nowadays in danger of extinction (e.g. the bottles of Maisel's Dampfbier in my collection stem from a period between 1989 and 1995).

Bottle. dark brown color. Malt and caramel in the aroma. Malty sweetish, soft roasty caramelly flavor with apple syrup. Just enough roast character to make this full bodied beer drinkable.

Had this as Borbecker Dunkler Bock. Huge thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass dark brown, almost black, nice small head. Intense malty-roasty aroma. Starts strong but not alcoholic, fine malty-roasty, more and more earthy-malty. Some hints of bitter chocolate, coffee, liquorice. All in all well balanced and quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!
