bottled from Stein village center shop. Dark copper brown, with huge foamy tan head, complex nose with malt, and fruity. Aroma is malts, spices and red berries. Flavour is malts, soft hops, and a dry palate. Nice!!!!

Bottle: Medium creamy light light yellow ish head that disappears pretty quick. The beer has a hazy darker to red ish orange colored beer. Smell barley malts, autumnal herbs, earth, some sweets from red to darker fruits, roosvice and sweet grains. Taste grains, barleys, malts, hops, cream, yeast, daker fruit, herbs, some hints of something sweet/sweet grains and a slight hint of honey. Aftertate is grainy with a hint of hop bitterness, some dried fruit tones and yeasty herbs. Low carbo, light spicy on the tongue but an overall soft mouthfeel, medium body and a light creamy texture. Strange herby malty bitterness that tends to go to a bit nasty...

Dunkler, etwas wässriger Antrunk, absolut unspektakulär. Wenig getreidig, etwas gerstig. Die Malzigkeit hält sich bis zum Ende bedeckt, wirkt aber auch nach dem Abflauen der anderen Aromen eher lasch. Wenig würzig, trocken. Der auch nur wenig vorhandene Hopfne scheint die Malzigkeit zu zerstören. Zum Ende zwar würziger, aber wenig ausgereift scheinend. Erfrischend. 10/9/9/10/10/9

Bottle 33cl.

Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a long duration, dry dry light vinegar finish. Body is medium, texture is oily and sticky, carbonation is soft. [20091004]

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear golden with floating impurities and a small off-white head. Aroma is more like dry white wine. Medium body, sweet fruit and malts, but ends fairly dry. Not exactly exciting. 041009

On draft at Conference Center Kapellerput, Heeze, The Netherlands (where they state that it is the only place available). Orange brown coloured. Fruity nose, cloyingly sweet fruity flavour. I can’t say i enjoyed this one.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a fully gone head an a golden deep brown glare. Roasted malty and mild spiced to slight butterish aroma. Spiced and hoppy flavour with a dry malty base. Dry and mild chocolate to dark and roasted malty and fruity flavoured. Acidic finish with a mild bitterness.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin disappearing tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of over ripe fruits, spices, and bread. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and over ripe fruits, leading to a dry woody finish. Reminds me somewhat of Barley Wine.

Amber colored brew. Malty, fruity, berry aroma. Malty flavor, spicy. Overall nice.

Amber-red colour, off-white head. Flavour is malty, a bit roasty, with dark fruits. Ends dry.
