500 ml flip-top bottle in Stuttgart, Germany. Is a clear amber color with a white head. Aroma of nuts, lemon, and lots of spices and malt. Taste is rathe tame. Palate is smooth but has a strong character.

From a bottle poured brown with a fair amount of head. Spicy malty flavor with a lingering aftertaste.

Bügelverschlußflasche (excavated by Quack-Duck!): Amber coloured, smaller loose off-white head, relatively slowly collapsing; sweetish-caramelly nose with a tinge of vanilla and cinnamon; light to moderate bitter-sweetish flavour, almost medium bodied; slightly lingering, perhaps solid bitter and dark-malty finish with a herbal aftertaste. Good X-mas brew......

Bottle, thanks Quack-Duck. Orange amber, low head. Molassis and heather aroma. Light caramel, a hint smoke, balanced to boredom. Medium to light dry body, quick finish.

(swing top bottle, with thanks to Quack-Duck!) Clear, amber colour with a big and steady off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet and ashy malty nose with faint notes of citrus and peaty spice. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Faint toasty malty and slightly nutty taste with peaty (!?) and subtle citric notes; mildly toast-malty finish with a moderate hoppy bitterness. Somewhat strange but also pleasant to drink. 29.XII.09

Swing top bottle from Quack-Duck, thanks! Deep golden color, firm lasting head. Dusty aroma with a hint of toffee. malty dusty flavor with caramelly, nutty and spicy notes. Vegetables, bitter walnuts and other unpleasant by-flavors. Maybe this beer doesn’t travel well, this just didn’t work out for me.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of Quack-Duck. Beautiful clear amber with a decent head. Impressive aroma of macadamia nuts, lemongrass, nutmeg, Christmas cake, marzipan, Christstollen, almonds, Stilton, pear, mushroom and dried apricot- extremely interesting and rather inviting; very hard to describe- definetely plenty of character. A lot of lemongrass and mushroom showing up in the taste. Malt accentuated. Some solvent sneaking in. Strange. Interesting malt profile. Biscuity. Low bitterness. Sweet. Medium to full bodied. Subtle carbonation. Raisin appearing on the swallow. Residual sugars in the finish which is reminiscent of raisin and lemongrass. Distinct with plenty of character. Thanks a lot Quack-Duck!

bottle, bought at the brewery’s former drinks market in Ergenzingen. Clear orange-golen colour with a large off-white head. Intensive malty nose. Full-bodied, sweet and malty with hints of caramel and spices, shy hints of citrus fruit. Lingering finish, into whoch some shy hoppy flavours blend in.
