50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep orange with a small whie head. Mild roasted caramelish aroma. Breadish and caramel malt flavoured alongside a light bitterness nicely complimenting the malt flavours. Ends medium dry and bitter.

<i<bought in Düsseldorf - clear copper-red colour with a little beige foam; the nose is nutty and spicy with notes of meat; clean palate with a smooth mouthfeel, gentle bitterness before a quite long earthy finish - not bad at all but a bit easy after drinking some Schumacher

The bottle fits to the assortment. Very dark, almost black, hoppy and dry aroma. Tastes mild-malty, a bit washy, finish a bit smoky. Not really good, but drinkable!

Clear light brown pour, white, fading head. Strognly grainy nose with rough bready nuances, feeling rather dry, a feeling which is pushed further by the agressive carbonation. Attenuated toffee notes with a shy herbal finish. Rather rough-edged this one despite its global lightness.

Bottle, 4.8%. Clear copper colour, small head. The flavour is subtle, a little rough. Average.

Dark golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, caramel . Flavour is fruit, malt, caramel, hop. Ok alt beer.

Bottled. Clear, golden with a small white head. Quite weak aroma with caramel and grain. Malty aroma, a bit on the grainy side, with a little fruityness. Decent body, malt and some hops in the finish. Quite decent beer. (070331)
