33cl bottle. A slightly hazy chestnut brown with a thin white head; earthy malt aroma; smooth with rich sweet malts and a moderately bitter finish.

Medium beige head does not last. Deep dark brown barely translucent body with light carbonation. Earthy roasty aroma is slightly stale and dry with meaty notes. Dry roasty meaty earthy taste with licorice notes. A little watery, could use more body. Dry slightly metallic toffee aftertaste with faint chocolate notes. Some sweetness in the background. Taste improves dramatically once the beer is heated a little. Decent. (0.3l bottle at La Rusticana, Lübeck.)

Pours a dark brown. Sweet toasted malt aroma. Flavors of caramel and burnt malts.

Fairly zippy, bubbly schwarz offering moderate bitterness. 33 cL bottle pours black with tan head. Faint, roasty, lightly hoppy nose. Lightly sweet, mildly bitter with a medium-roasty backdrop. Quite carbonated, which adds to the resfreshment value I thought. Not bad.

On tap. The colour is almost black with a tan head. The aroma is soft and roasted. Flavour is a bit sweet with roasted notes. Medium bitterness.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge, dense and tan head. Sweetish brewmash like aroma. Flavour holds mild roasted malt notes, minor chocolate smoothness, medium sweetness, light acidity and a solid bitterness into the finish. Finish shows a mix of acidity from the roasted notes and bitterness. Quite nice and easy beer.

belongs to my name... dark brown colour, solid head. sweet smell with some bread. mid brings typical bitterness with spicy taste. later sweet malty aroma which dominates the finish. one of the few dark ones that doen´s make sticky lips.

Dark brown in colour. Big roasted malt aroma. Texture is quite thin but flavour is full and bitter. Very nice overall and would make a great session beer.
