Malziger Duft mit leicht bitteren Einschlägen. Geschmacklich klare Tendenz zum Malz, dabei eine Spur zu wässrig, welches allerdings der Süffigkeit zu Gute kommt. Angenehm fruchtige Note im Hintergrund. Passables Altbier. Trinkbar und oberes Mittelfeld.Test vom 25.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Herber und geringfüfig (später stärkerer) Malzantrunk. Die leicht süßliche Malzigkeit ist angenehm, meist aber zu trocken. Etwas getreidig, süffig, nett. Ein trinkbares Altbier ohne Besonderheiten. 7/9/9/9/9/9

Bottle. Lightly smokey toffee malt aroma. Clear chestnut color with moderate head. Sweet, smokey caramel malt flavor with a light astringent finish. Nice body. Very tasty - a nice beer.

Tap. Nice amber color, thick very creamy off-white head. Aroma is some spicy and dry malts, a hint of licorice. Flavor is spicy and dry, nice brew.

Poured into a .5l glass. Big frothy head that is slow to subside. Not much in the way of lacing as it dissipates as soon as the head does. Medium brown-nutty color. Crystal clear. Malty aroma that overpowers any other aromas. Again, malty. Slight nuttiness with a sweet front. The sweetness stays awhile after swallowing. Smooth creamy texture. A little more watered down creamy texture though. Still very good. I could drink this daily, and sometimes do. The alcohol content puts it a bit out of reach of the ’session’ beer. But there are not a lot of German beers that you could call a session beer. Overall, a good, economical beer to come home to and relax with.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Bottle in Dusseldorf. Dark beer. Unusually chocolatey malt - pudding like! Very drinkable. Different.

On tap at Turock in Essen. Brown copper colour and white head. Roasted malts and hoppy aromas.
