Bottle, 4.8%. Weak spicy aroma, slightly soapy. Clear light brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is malty, more like a Dunkel, creamy and slightly spicy. Good.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Clear amber golden with an off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt. Medium body, roasted malts and a little caramel with a fairly dry and bitter finish. 030409

Nice malty aroma, grainy, rye, bit of molasses. Light hops presence, paper. Dark orange-brown clear with off-white foamy lacing head with decent retention. Medium watery body with light-medium carbonation. Taste starts semi-sweet and with some acidity. Light papery taste, followed with some very light molasses-sugar or burnt rye bread taste. Finish is medium acidic and mildly bitter. After is medium bitter with hint of rye sweetness. Tasted a bit old, but not bad for a discount-grocery type of beer.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish.

0,5 liter fles. Gedronken op vakantie in Winterberg (Duitsland). Vrij duur bier want ik kreeg een parkeerboete van € 5,00. Goed bier.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear, golden and orange with a small white head. Light malty flavoured, light roasted. Smooth caramel malt flavoured, light bitter and vague fruity note. Roasted malt and bitter finish.

Cookie dough aroma with a hint of cinnamon. Sweetish cookie dough flavor (Bastogne koeken!). Malty with a touch of bitterness coming up in the aftertaste. Better as expected.

Bottled. Slightly roastmalty aroma. Mild, roastmalty, slightly sweet taste. Somewhat smooth mouthfeel and not watery as so many cheap alts are. Actually, a nice suprise for a supermaket alt.
