Light brown & cloudy. Smells toasty. Toasty character with a light fruitiness and some milk chocolate. Ok, a bit rustic.

Tap at the pub. Body is an opaque brown with heavy red highlights (the picture currently on this site doesn’t match what I saw), as if it has been mixed with a healthy dose of raspberry puree. Soapy yellow-brown head. Nose hides some dark chocolate, mouth reveals a little of that, as well. Some earth and light-medium bitterness, relatively dry.

On tap at the site in October. Cloudy amber with a small off-white head. Malty aroma with nutty and caramel character. Dry and malty flavour ith a distinct nutty character and notes of toasted bread and biscuit

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy brown with a caramel head. Flavour includes caramel, raisin some vanilla. Finish is toasted bitter with a long dry palate.

Draft @ brewpub. Murky dark chestnut brown with scattered lace. Sweet dark bread aroma with dried apples. Soft palate is slightly sticky. Sweet brown bread. A bit yeasty throughout. Also has dried apple sweetness in the flavors.

Draught @ Hofbrauerei Krongut Bornstedt. Color cloudy brown with medium head. Aroma bread, roasted. Taste sweet, bread, caramel.

(Draught at the brewpub, Potsdam, 23 July 2010) Cloudy brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with notes of dark bread and dried fruit. Malty, roasted taste with dark bread, caramel, toasty malt, brown sugar and a mild spicy bitterness. Medium body, with some sweetness. Nice and tasty.

An exceptional treat. Enjoyed at the Krongut Borstedt brauhaus. Dark brown opaque beer with thick tan head. Raisin, fig and dark malt aromas present. Very sweet and substantial beer. Flavors of carmel, vanilla, and toasted marshmallow. This is a one beer at a time brew but is extremely complex and enjoyable.

Draft. A red-brown beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel as well as light notes of bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and bread.

05/03 Draught at the brewpub. It poured hazy brown body with smaller brownish head. Very nice malty aroma, caramel and some roasted malt. Coffee bitterish flavor but well balanced, even slightly overwhelmed with some sweeter dark malty caramel and fruitiness. Fuller in body with longer, sweetish caramel finish. Liked this beer, which is much better than their helles.
