6.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
Gravity fed on cask at Gourmet Haus in Redwood City. Chestnut brown with garnet flecks on the corners. Head is tan - but did not last. Lots of malt and melanoidan on the nose. Mouthfeel is thin. Slightly sweet malts on the palate, but they do linger a bit. Some slight roast as well. Could drink a number of these darks as a session bier, but would probably opt for something better. Would serve only with a cheese course.

Bottled (from mein-biershop.de). Quite much yellow colour, small white foamy head. Aroma is bready malts, herbs and some slight notes of grass. Flavour is quite much the same along with a slight mild white peppery finish. Pleasant.
