Bottle. Brown colour with a small off-white head. Roasted malty aroma and a sweet dry bread roasted taste. Light body and a sweet finish.

Pours dark brown with a foamy light brown head. Roasted and slightly hoppy aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a bitter end. Metallic hints. Not very interesting but drinkable.

Deep brown colour with off white head. Aroma has some roasted malts and fruity sweetness. Malty and sweet flavor with some chocolate.

Dark color. Poor aroma, with just a hint of roasted malt. Taste of caramel, some burnt sugar; quite metallic.

Dark color. The taste is sweet light nutty malts with some caramel notes. Rather boring.

Dark. Rich as a stout, but heavier. Burned, but also some prunes-taste. The hops are very good, making it a rich and well balanced beer. Very good. Not as excellent as the Jever pilsner, but....far better than most.

Clear Black/red colour. Nice foamy head, which quickly diminishes, though. Malty, hoppy, slightly cardboardy aroma. Taste is a bit roastmalty, malty, but a turns into a very bitter finish, which hit me hard the first time, as it was unexpected. After that quite a decent beer, but nothing special.

Looks like cola, tastes like a mediocre dark lager - oh, wait, I guess that’s what it is - anyway, the odd thing about this beer is that it kind of tastes like the jever pilsner with caramel and chocolate flavors added to it - not a very good experience.
