The head is medium, the body dark brown-red. It smells darkmalty, aromatic, roasty, a bit bitter. The taste is darkmalty, roasty, a bit raisin. Overall the best of Kitzmann I tried. 12/11/11/10/-/11

bottle from jonas. Clear brown colour, big, creamy beige head. Full-bodied, intensively malty with a roasted malt character, chocolate, caramel. Pleasantly hoppy. Thanks, Jonas!

Tükrös borostyánszínű főzet, melynek piszkosfehér habja nyomot hagy a pohár szélén Ill. vékonyan megmarad a tetején. Illata karamellás, fűszeres. Enyhe csípősséggel indul, az íze karamellás/aszalt gyümölcsös. Aromája karamellás, fűszeres és füves, enyhe élesztős savanykával a háttérben. A vége fűszeres, pirított mogyorós, kesernyés. Szénsavtartalma alacsony, emiatt a teste sima és lágy. Összességében jó volt, bejött.

Bottled 500ml. -from Sörspecialista.hu, Budapest. Nice amber coloured, small off-white head, dry caramel nutty nose. Slight roasted malt, coffee and touch of alcohol with too strong sugar presence. A bit too sweet for the better rating.

0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado who brought it from Budapest (thanks!). Poured a dark amber-orange body with a small slightly off white head. Dry coffeish nose, maltiness. Sweet strong, remarkably coffee-like malty taste. Relatively simple, one dimensional but nice.

Appearance: Deep coppery brown color. Frothy, airy, off-white to yellowish beige head.
Aroma: Crisp milk chocolate, cinammon, and a bit spicy hop bite. Fit into the style very nicely.
Flavor: Very nice, sweet toffee-malty backbone. Crisp, grainy milk chocolates fills the mid-palate. Medium level of grassy hops in the end. It’s not so well-integrated to the sweet toasted malty sweetnes. I can also detect some faint rusty, meaty(?), yeasty off-flavors at the medium, but so overwhelming.
Mouthfeel/Palate: Medium body with soft to average carbonation. Smooth oily, yeast envirnoment.
Overall Impression: Amazing character of sweet, toasted malts with caramel bombarded sugary notes. Not cloying. The hops are not so well-integated. Not bad.

Bottle. A clear, almost amber beer with a small, off-white head. Malty aroma with caramel dominating, some fruityness as well. Bread and caramel in the flavor with some fruityness and a little bitterness. Medium body, dry. Short, bready finish. Sure a decent, easy drinking beer, but that’s it. 090821

Botella. Brown colour. Sweet well toasted malty caramel aroma. Good mouthfeel. Sweet toasty caramel and toasty malty flavour with a pleasant bitterness.

Bottle, 5.7%. Good malty aroma, mildly farty hint. Clear brown colour. Very small white head. Good sweet flavour, good maltiness with a little rough bitterness. Nicely spicy with a creamy finish.

Bottle @ danish RB Gathering 09. Pours clear amber with a small creamy white head. Heavy dusty nose. Bready and ashy. Some grain. Quite weird.
