500 ml bottle. From Germany (beerangel.com).
Dark reddish brown colour with small tan head. Roasted malt, caramel and some strange potatoe aroma. Slightly sugary sweet roasted malty flavour with caramel and hints of hops. Thin and watery.

This beer pours a gorgeous dark amber to brown, but crystal clear with an off-white head that lingers a while. Not a strong aroma, but what is there is dominated by sweet, grainy malts. The body is medium with enough carbonation to keep it from being too heavy. Crisp and refreshing. The flavor is dominated by malty sweetness with a nice light hop finish, just enough to balance the malts.

Bottle. Malt, caramel, cookie dough and cardemom in the aroma. Caramelly sweet flavor with cardemom. Quite drinkable, though not world shocking.

I use to drink a lot of this back in the day. Not it is hardly distributed in America. Roasted aroma, slightly sweet flavor, very subtle hint of chocolate.

Draft @ 16. Internationales Berliner Bierfestival. Pours a clear amber/brown with a small, diminishing beige head. Rather sweet malty and fruity aroma, bordering raisins, and with a cereal overtone. A bit cloying. Flavour is sweet and malty with dar kfruit notes. Same finish, a bit grainy and mildly bitter. Okay. 03.08.12.

Nice brown color. caramel and the taste from colormalts. Medium body with a nicely balanced taste.
