9-13-07 bottle. Amber pour with just okay head. Very malty smell. More flavor needed. Little bit of coating on the tongue. Decent overall.

This is really great beer. Smooth rich, great head delicious and very drinkable

red amber with a small off white head. earth orange aromas. soft body. nice caramel maltiness with some orange oak notes and a light bitterness. very pleasing

Woody, nutty, sweet processed malt backbone. Mildly bittered with some light floral hopping. Earthy ensemble may turn people away bu regardless this is a decent drink.

This alt style helped shape my taste preferences in drinking beer over the last 10 years. First drank it in Anchorage at Gwennie’s, have developed a fondness for this beer, going out of my way to bring it back to Texas where it’s not currently distributed. Pours to a rich amber color, tastes like it was directly from Dusseldorf. Easily my favorite.

Bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007
Amber color. The aroma is quite simple, the flavor too, some sweetness, light caramel. Not bad, but without interest.

bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a light fizzy off-white head. Aroma is sweet with a strong caramel aroma. The flavor has malty with an earthy hop and caramel on the crisp finish. The finish is a bit bitter but finishes nice.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2009 Nice amber. Very smooth, with a consistant character. Nice little aftertaste that I really enjoy. A solid brew that always pleases. Alcohol Content (ABV): 5% Calories: 180
