Bottle 50cl.
Clear medium amber orange color with a average to large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly - fully lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, nutty, light toffee, smoke notes ? Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090625]

An amber beer with a huge orange head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel - and so is the flavor, but there are also some odd notes, that I can’t pinpoint, but they don’t suit me so well.

UPDATED: JUN 26, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Dark amber-coloured, slightly off-white head. Surprisingly high carbonation. I would normally expect a light caramel-sweetness in a beer of this type. But here I find a rather harsh hoppiness. Slightly disappointing. 270405

Bottled. Amber colour with a mediumsized fluffy/foamy head. Aroma is caramel malts, some mild floral and herbal hops along with mild toffeeish notes as well. Flavour is mild toasted notes, some caramel malts, toffee, mild sugary notes as well as some slight floral, herbal and earthy notes. Pleasant, but could do with slightly more bitterness.

Bottle. Clear orange coloured with an off white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and fruits. Flavour of malts, caramel, fruits and hops.

Bottle, 5.1%. Malty aroma, slightly farty. Clear copper colour. Stable rocky tan head. The flavour is also malty, not a lot, but has some flavour. Low bitterness.

Bottle. Amber color. Hardly noticeable bready aroma. malty grassy firm hopbitter flavor. Bready. Pleasant and tasty beer.

Bottle: Clear, amber coloured, rather creamy, small off-white head; robust sweet dark-malty, nutty, caramelly nose; sweetish (malty) flavour, light to medium bodied; sweetish-malty finish with a nutty tinge and a touch of molasses, delicate (roast-)bitterness in the aftertaste. A pleasant, tasty Dunkles...!

(bottle) Clear, copper colour with a beautiful and stable off-white foamy head. Sweet toast-malty aroma with aspects of dark bread, caramel and herbal hops. Sweet flavour, medium to light body, crispy carbonation. Toast-malty, bready taste with caramel and a touch of honey; medium-dry, soft malty, slightly bitter and hoppy finish with an aromatic length. A fine Landbier.

Bottled. A mid brown beer actually quite macho looking, but not dark enough for a dunkel IMO, with a tiny off-white rim of head. A malty German lager with a sweet slightly nutty aroma and taste. Clean and very easy to drink.
