An early German ale, this full-bodied Düsseldorf style exhibits a rich mahogany color. Special malts imported from Munich lend an authentic malty note to this exceptional brew.

This poured a dark copper to brown color with a white head. The aroma contains some caramel, toffee, and bready notes. The flavor is malty with more caramel, toffee, and some cheerios. Yup I said cherrios! The finish is a bit sweet. Overall a nice session beer.

chriso (7062) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 5, 2011
On draught at Downtown Grille, Knoxville on 8 July 2006. Quite dark brown/copper colour. Thin off-white head. Fairly malty with quite earthy hop character. Seemed rather English in feel to me - more so than the ESB really. Whatever, this is a decent clean and easy drinking beer.

On tap at the brewery. Poured a clear orange/gold with a one finger off white head. The aroma was toasty, with sweet malt present and maybe some fruit notes. The flavor was earthy hops and a bready base. Good beer.
