Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg and consumed sat in Frank at Freising P&R campervan area, Wednesday 15th April 2026. Pours pitch black with a large light beige head, though this was fast disappearing. Thick oily texture in the mouth, sweet however not so bad as there is a roastiness. The nuttiness tastes a bit more peanut than hazelnut but it's certainly nutty. Chocolate is there in abundance, the vanilla adds a creamy edge. There is a little artificial edge to this but it's not bad and I can certainly forgive it as it's still a very good impy stout. Btw we had a very nice meal at Mono Vietnamese Kitchen in Freising tonight. Score: 7.6

Bottle picked up from Äpfel Getrankemarkt Moosburg and consumed at home Tuesday 14th April 2026 in the company of Patrick who popped around to see what I was doing in the garden. Pours gold, good clarity, there's a decent sized white head, first indications are of a good A/F beer. The nose is mostly cereal and grain, but a little bit of citrus. Nice mouthfeel, light bitterness. Perhaps a touch thin, good carbonation, light citrus in the mouth, edging towards a dry finish. I gave Patrick (neighbour) a regular Schönramer Helles and I had this, interestingly I never thought about this as A/F throughout which can only be a big positive. Score: 6.4

Bottle picked up from Degenhart Getrankemarkt, Regen and consumed Tuesday 14th April 2026 after a day working in the garden, currently not listening to any music, but busy cooking a Potato, Onion and Camembert Pie. Pours warm/dark gold with a large white head. Taste is malty with a hint of caramel and toffee. Hoppiness is subtle, not so spring-like I'm afraid, soft mouthfeel, decent carbonation. Fruity with a leaning towards citrus, sweet citrus. It's a decent beer but perhaps hasn't hit the spot quite as much as I'd hoped. Score: 6.6

Bottle picked up from Äpfel Getrankemarkt Moosburg and consumed at home Monday 13th April 2026 we're still cooking our Rigatoni Pasta with homemade Walnut Pesto, listening to ByteFM. Pours clear mid gold with a large clean white head, looks very good. This is a significant improvement on the Karmeliten A/F beer that I just had. Nice maltiness, pleasant sweetness, okay the sweetness comes across as a touch artificial, however it is a beer that I would drink again, it's a solid A/F Helles overall, the nose gives it away a little but there is a light hoppiness also. Score: 6.3

Bottle picked up from Äpfel Getrankemarkt, Moosburg and consumed at home Monday 13th April 2026 cooking a Rigatoni Pasta with homemade Walnut Pesto, not listening to anything just yet. Pours mid gold with a large white head, mmmhh... sadly this is one of those alcohol free beers that's a throwback to how crap they used to taste, so there's the usual taint and that is about it, dull as ditchwater, some sweetness though that also tastes artificial of course, slightly chemical taint on the nose, not my thing. Score: 4.3

Can picked up from Beyond Beer webshop, Hamburg and consumed at home Sunday 12th April 2026 after a few hours gardening, with Patrick (neighbour) around ours for a few hours checking out what we were up to. We had Zarzuela for tea and listened to Deadletter - Existence is Bliss then to Twilight Sad - It's the Long Goodbye, both great albums. Pours yellow gold, there is a light haze and a large white head. The nose is mostly citrus led, lemony with a pithy edge, not picking up a resinous note or maybe I am 🤔. Taste following a similar trajectory, citrus, lemony, pithy, bitterness throughout the a balanced sweetness, dry finish, this is a real grower, at first liked but expected more at the end really appreciated what I was drinking. Score: 7.8
