Tap. Dark amber with minimal head in an old pint glass. Light on aroma big on taste. Has some nice complexity. Caramel, grain a certain meatiness and nice spice.

Clear orange golden with a big tight head that disappears quickly. Sweet caramel and bread aroma. Tastes of caramel malt, dark fruits, bran, and sweet honey. Wow, I haven’t had this beer in ages, it’s great!

Thanks to paco for this. Pours orange amber with small quickly disappearing white head. Aroma is sweet, boozy, caramel and candy. Taste is slightly boozy with caramel and a slight sweet candy taste. Really nice beer.

(Draught) Lasting thin, white head with an orange amber body. No carbonation. Nose is very limited. Flavour hints of bready, grains and band aid palate but I found this thin in texture and a tad off optimal.

650ml bomber, fairly fresh ( Thanks Noxious) Pour put a good looking amber-orange protien hazed lager in my stein. Frothy 2 finger off white cap with great retention which laces the glass well. Modest carbonation. Nose is filled with sweet toasted garins, some caramel and light musty grass tones...very pungent as it warms. Medium-heavy bodied. Thick malt backbone. Great creamy-silken mouthfeel. Starts with thick chewy malts creating an impression of liquid toasted muffins with light honey tones and some light citrus from the attenuated hops. Finish is wet, slightly sweet with massive breadyness and a light biscuit after taste....then mild warming from the extremely well hidden alcohol. Although this breaks with style guidelines in that it is darker than a Maibock with Munich malt malodins, has a caramel taste and a marzen malt profile, it IS fine crafted bock more in the vein of a strong Oktoberfest Marzen than a Maibock....very malty, tastey and deeply satisfying. A top flight world class effort by this brewer.
