Medium offwhite head of large bubbles, clear dark red body. Smoky, meaty aroma, not too strong. Taste is deep, but not really strong. I’d be hard-pressed to describe it, but the aftertaste is quite bitter. Overall quite hoppy. A very good example of the Franconian dark lager. (0.5l mug on tap at the brewery outdoor serving.)

1.0 l bottle. Reddish brown color with small head. Sweetish, nutty, leathery and somewhat dull aroma. Dry nutty flavor with some weird plastic off flavor. This bottle was picked week ago from the brewery but seems to be insipid, I hope to rerate this in future.

1L sving-top bottle. Big platina blond head with excellent lacing. Clear mahogny colored body. Dry nutty, faint caramelly malt aroma. Notes of dusty, grassy and papery hops. Much of the same flavorwise; Dry nutty malts and dusty hops. Also an vinous berry-ish fruitiness. Light to medium full. powdery, almost chalky in th mouth. Dry fruity finish. Probably a light oxidation here, still a decent and drinkable dunkel.

(draught) pours a very murky dark brown colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of herbal hops, some barnyard and toasted malts, with light notes of tobacco. flavour is slightly earthy, with lots of toasted grain and a herbal-hoppy finish. medium body and carbonation.

Draught at the brewery: Dark brown color, creamy off-white head. Hints of vinegar in the aroma, shy malty and some roastiness. Flavor is light sourly/sweet, malty and with some roasty notes., Light dry finish.

Couleur noire foncée, mousse beige pale. Arômes de malt hautement torréfiés apportant un côté de viande fumée. Saveurs de caramel, de mélasse et de malt grillé se terminant sur une touche de fumée. Une touche de houblon apporte une fraîcheur de type menthol. Étalement court, les arômes laissaient entrevoir un breuvage plus complexe. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince, faible carbonatation.
