Bottle. Strong hops and malt aroma. Dark copper red with large tan head - a very pretty beer. Creamy full malt flavor with a touch of hops. Excellent alt.

<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

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.

Clear amber with a large beige head. Aroma had had roasted malt, grains and caramel notes. Flavour had roasted malt and quite a few grassy hops. Finished bitter and dry.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel. A beer!

Geruchlich malzig mit wenigen Röstspuren. Etwas Hopfen ist auszumachen. Im Geschmack schwach malzig. Der Mittelteil ist herber besetzt und mündet in ein spätes trockenes Malzfinish mit Kaffeearoma. Eher unspektakuläres Alt. Trotzdem recht sauber.Test vom 6.1.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche

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)
