Dark black, but with clear reddish shine. very little, yellowish head. Rich malt nose, with sweet chocolate tones. Very sweet, malt-sugars, sweet worts at first, but going over in liquorice. Hint of bitterness at the end. Very slight carbonation. Pretty empty. Aftertaste turns to sweet-liquorice again. Too sweet. It does resemble a German Maltztrunk. Wonder where those 5.6 ABV are hiding.

Clear orange - old gold; little white head, disappearing. Nose of grain and slight odour of ambrée malt. Taste is a bit herbal, like bog-myrtle aroma. Slight sourish from carbonation around the slight sweetish malt. Bitter finish, not harsh. Mouthfeel is watery but refreshing. It has been stated before somewhere - malt must be very expensive in the Northern Wastes. This is not a bad beer - just too much water.
