Diebels Plato 13

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Hoppy-dry aroma. Starts mild-malty, the middle is more roasty, burnt, scratchy. The finish is well balanced, modest malty. Okay, but not more.

A slightly bigger version of Diebles Alt, and their version of "sticke" or secret beer. Bigger in flavor and alcohol, and a decent example of stickebier, but like Diebels Alt, not a classic example of the style. Pours to a deep copper color, with a tight white head that fades, and a moderate to soft carbonation. The nose has some nice herbal hop aromatics, with some sweet malt aroma. Body is a little slicker on the tongue than altbier, and has a touch more sweetness, and a hints of dark toast. Finishes with more malt up front, then ends with a quick snap of herbal hop bitterness. A good beer, worth trying if but once.

Dark brown coloured. Sweet and malty with roasty notes. Slightly one-dimensional.

A red brown beer with a small disappearing head. It has no aroma at all. The flavor is sour malty with notes of roasted bread - if this weren't German I'd bet there had been used brewing cereal in it - a boring German Ale.

Dark hazy body with a fine head. Sweet aroma of pilsner malt (?) and a little alcohol. Flavor is nice and smooth with notes of dark roasted malt and spices. An easy drinkable ale!

Completely black. Strong rye flavour. Uninteresting brew. I would have never bought this one myself, but if someone is offering it to you... It's hard to say no when it comes to beer... ;-)

Dark but not black. Decent off white head. Had a skunkiness ala Sam Smiths. The flavor was pretty good. Has a coffee flavor to it which I enjoyed. Thin in the malts and hops.

Canned(330ml). -very near to schwarzbier, and I don’t like that kind of beers
