Amber color. Sweetish, malty flavor with cola, some licorice and peach. Too onedimensional to be a prize winner.

bottle from landbierparadies shared with mowbeer and skykob. darkish copper with a minimal head; aroma of burnt sugars, chlorine and aluminium foil; sweaty and fat, drinkable enough

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Ins Glas ergießt sich herrlich dunkelbraunes Bier mit guter, cremig feiner, langlebiger Krone. Der Geruch offenbart sich angenehm malzig mit leicht süßem Einschlag. Der Antrunk ist frisch und rezent, angenehm röstmalzig bitter, mit ganz leicht süßlichem Anhang. Der Abgang zeigt sich röstig getreidig. Die Mitte wird etwas weicher und süßmalziger. Der Hopfen kommt ebenfalls besser zur Geltung. Insgesamt ein gelungenes, typisch fränkisches Dunkles!

Bottled. Deep copper colour, small beige head. Aroma is roasted malts, some mild ashes, caramel malts and mild ryebready notes. Flavour is ryebread, ashes, caramel and quite pleasant. Mild wooden notes as well.

(bottle) pours a clear copper-ruby colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of bread dough, light acetic acid, treebark, earth and peaches. flavour is mostly chewy pale malts and bread dough, with a light hint of toffee in the finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.

50cl bottle from The Doemens stash. Somehow I wrote down "burnt trunf" in my notes. I hate that old gothic German font. Anyway, this dunkel landbier pours an attractive red-brown color with a stable beige head. Toasty malty aroma with a bit of toffee and light underlying diacetyl. Very full flavor with rich malt, moderate fruitiness, and just a hint of diacetyl rounding things out. A very interesting landbier with a lot of character, even if it’s not one I would choose to session.

bottle from landbierparadies24.de. Clear chestnut-brown colour, large off-white head. Pleasant malty nose with caramel. Malty, lots of caramel, roasetd malt and Bayerisch Blockmalz. A surprisingly hoppy touch is detectable in the finish. Very nice!

Bottle. Chocolate malt aroma. Dark orange-brown color with nice off-white head. Lightly sweet brown sugar malt and bitter hay hops flavor. Nicely quaffable.

Clear amber with a medium beige head. Aroma had roasted malt, caramel and grassy hops. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, caramel and grassy hops. Finished dry.

Bottled. A nut-brown beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of nuts, metal, and a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of nuts, metal, caramel, malt, and bread, leading to a dry bready finish.

50 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild breadish and light grassy hoppy. Roasted malty and light cornish flavoured. Bitter and dry finish. Subdued on the malt flavours.
