Dark copper body with a big white head. Nice bittersweet aroma with caramel, licorice, some grassy hops and peppermint. Sweet flavour with caramel, brown sugar, spices and a herbal finish. Nice.

Almost no aroma, looks very pretty.amber, clear, frothy, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, lively,

Tasted quite light. A little wheaty. Nice color and foam. Could have again. Drank at Herman, Berlin.

Bottle at Cafe De la Gare. Pours clear amber with an off white head. Aroma of yeast, malt, spice and some fruit. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

Amber body, tan head. Nose is spice, malt, yeast, cologne, liquorice in the background. Taste is a fairly balanced mix of bitterness, fruity and spicy sweetness. Thin to medium body, prickly carbonation, oily palate.

This one has a well balanced fruity bitterness. Full-ish flavour for the strength but still light and easy to drink.

Small bottle. Opaque amber body with a tall foamy head. Minerally aroma of malt and yeast with a light touch of orange. Quite sweet taste with yeast and light caramel. Turns watery in the middle. Finish has medium bitter cardboardy hoppiness. Not very good, perhaps it has already turned a bit stale (though it still has a whole year of shelf life left).

330ml bottle. Hazy brownish color. Small off-white/ tan head. Head holds quite nicely. Yeast, malty, sugary, slight citrus in aroma. Yeasty, hops, malty, aromatic flavor. Perfumey dry hops aftertaste.

Received some of this for christmas - very nice... Beautiful dark colour, with a malty aroma to go with it.

Bottle from Lidl. Amber colour thick head. Slight hop aroma. Taste is perfume, fruits and decent amount of bitterness. Quite carbonated on the palate, but this goes well with the beer. A decent beer.
