Bottle 0,33 l from Maruhn - Darmstadt (D). Red garnet beer with nice off-white foam drawing to the glass, fine crackling. Malted aromas, roasted, raw meat, hay and fruity. The taste is sweet, moderate hop, slight acidic and sweetened-toffy and roasted. Finish bitter-sweet.

50 cl bottle @ Timo A. Rated on 28.02.2011
Aroma is somewhat sweet with strawberries, some roasted notes and hints of metal. Flavour has berries, some roasted, bready malt and hints of herbs. Decent.

(bottle) pours a hazy amber-brown colour with a frothy off-white head. faint aroma of cardboard, light strawberries and caramel, with a hint of cinnamon, roasted malts and treebark. flavour is mostly roasted malts and cardboard, with notes of walnuts, caramel and earth, some slightly tart hints of apricot and a light roasted-bitter finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

Bottled. Reddish brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is mild spices, berries, toasted notes along with some slight grassy and bready malty notes. Flavour is spicy, herbal, grassy and mild berryish notes along with some slight toasted notes. Quite different from standard dunkels.

Amber color with an off-white head. Sweet aroma, roasted malts and toffee. Flavor is sweet malt, hints of bitterness. Sweet finish.

Wonderful dark copper color and toasted malt taste. Not overpowering but very flavorful and worth trying if this is not your typical kind of beer. Very different to find a german red beer.

Die Schaumkrone hält mittelmäßig, trüb und dunkle Farbe. Geschmacklich leicht hopfig, malzig, die malzigkeit ist auch im Nachgeschmack noch vertreten. Fazit: Trinkbar hatte aber mehr erwartet. Test vom 22.5.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,8,8,9,10,8 - 8,35

from bottle, purchased at mannheim central station. red, slightly hazy colour with a frothy, two-finger head. the aroma is quite fruity, didn’t expect this at all from this beer. heavy malty notes, some earthy hops. chocolate mixed wirth strawberry, wow, it smells like a chocolate bar with strawberry yogurt, hints of vanilla as well. the aroma is really appealing! so let’s give it a taste. medium sweet taste in the beginning, then it turn to a sort of bitterness. fruity, malty flavour, almost as the aroma. light to medium body, quite creamy. yeah, this is a good one! damn, I should have bought more of those than the rather poor pils from the same brewery....

Clear brown colour. Almost no head. The flavour is caramelly, dusty and slightly spicy. Low to medium bitterness.
