(tap at the brewpub in Essen-Borbeck) Clear and dark amber colour with a reddish shine and a short foamy off-white head. Sweet and toasty malts aroma with dried fruits (plums, raisins) and caramel; medium to full bodied, sweet malty caramelly taste with a tinge of dried fruits. Mainly sweet malty and slightly herbal hoppy finish with a moderately bitter aftertaste. Not bad - the best one of the Borbecker Brauhaus collection I had so far (16.01.06).

Leicht säuerlicher Antrunk, wenig herb und malzig. Nach einiger Zeit etwas würzig, die Herbe ist aber stärker. Schokoladig wird’s im Abgang, ansonsten ist das Bier nur wenig malzlastig. Kaum süß. 12/11/12/10//10

On tap in Essen. Quite a nice, full and very buttery taste. I didn’t realise it was this strong when I had it.

On tap at the brewpub: Amber coloured, off-white stable head, lacing; faint sweetish-malty nose with a tinge of alcohol and hops; sweetis and malty start, becoming soon dryer; better-sweet flavour, medium bodied; long lasting, quite dry bitter-malty finish with a tinge of chocolate; a decent, warming Winter-Bier, not too heavy, not too sweet. Well balanced, well drinkable........
