UPDATED: FEB 5, 2003 dark brown colour, fine head, terribly discreet aroma with hint of malt and butter, sweet and deeply neutral with a poor malty finish - go on, there is nothing to see here ...

Hazy mahogany with a medium beige head. sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and rye bread. Flavour had roasted malt, caramel, rye bread and vague hops. Finished sweet.

Bottled 0,33L. Creamy head, a lot abundant and of very good resistance. Much dark brown color, impenetrable one. Elegant and fraught aspect. Aroma of aged cereals, nearly marches, with notes of wood and roasted caramel. Amazingly acidulous, sour and much lively taste, elevated crispy body.

Bottled (thanks Bov!). Deep amber colour, small white bubbly and airy head. Aroma is berries, sweet malts and also some slight burnt notes. Flavour is sweet caramel, crystal malts and also some mild wooden and grassy bitter notes. Quite refreshing, even though it’s a bit sweet.

Bottled (BB 06/2009). Dark brown color, small off-white head. Caramelly, a bit artifical sweetened aroma, some toasted notes. A bit thin palate. Some caramel, cardboard, light grassy note. Feels industrial.

Bottle. Reddish brown colour with a little head. Aroma of malt, caramel and grass-like. Flavour of malt and caramel. Ends up fruty and has a ddry aftertaste.

Bottle. A ruby beer with a beige head. The aroma is light roasted malt, hay and straw, the taste is light sweet malty, straw. Medium body with a light sweet finish.

Coca-cola colored, little yellow head. Sweet, sugary, slightly caramelly, still somehow overly sweet Baltic dunkel aroma. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is also sweet with mild roastiness, this sugary tone still dominating. Not very good.

Bottle purchased in the LOEB store in Bern. What a surprise beer this was. Fruity aroma, Ruby red in appearance. Off white head. Rich smooth fruity flavour of plums and summer fruit. Bitter finish. Plenty of flavour in this beer unlike all the swiss beers so far on my trip. Very nice indeed.

From 33 cL bottle. pour hazy amber/brown with an off-white head. Strong corn aroma, slight alcohol and caramel. Flavour is malty, slight dry, not bitter at all nor sweet. Malty finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Bov. Clear, dark orangey brown with an off-white head. Discreet aroma of yeast and caramel. Medium body with sweetish, roasted malt notes and a vague metallic edge. Some bitterness. 290607
