500ml bottle
Pours a brilliant red-amber lager in the glass with a 1 finger frothy cap which goes to a surface foam that laces the glass well...one would think this was a Vienna by the color.
Aromas are pungent: red vienna malts with some raisin/grape skin tones, light coffee notes from black malt husks and a light waft of sweetness.
Flavor is where this shines...it crosses the line between a dunkel and a bock chewy dunkel malting with bock dark fruits and some nut and earthy tones mixing with the twiggy-woody flavors of the Hersbruckers...rich rounded body with a soft mouth feel ...dries up cleanly in the finish some black malt astringence...then a bready sweet aftertaste.
Avery drinkable and satisfying dark lager...tasty and very primal yet has some subtle complexity.
I like this one very much and wish it was available here year long.

Dec 2, 2008 Pours a nut brown with a quarter-inch off-white head with modest retention and some lacing. Aroma is pretty plain lightly-sweet brown malt. Taste is buttery diacetyl with a light nutty taste and sweet brown malt. Pretty straightforward here, not even any hops to speak of. Moderate carbonation, lightly creamy body. Bo-ring!
