330 ml bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with medium-sized beige head that creates a lacing. Aroma has caramel malt, honey and hops. Taste is nicely bittersweet with plenty of licorice, blackcurrant, toast and caramel malt. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel and nice licorice finish. Low to medium carbonation. A delicious and well-balanced beer that offers a challenge.

Clear, deep ruddy orange copper with 3-finger tan head that vanished after a couple minutes. Aroma of sweet caramel, bread and toffee malts with molasses and alcohol. Tasty is malty and fruity with sweet caramel malts, toffee, brown sugar and hearty flavors.

Poured from 11.2 oz bottle. "Best before 01/12.". Oops! Clear, deep ruddy orange copper with 3-finger tan head that vanished after a couple minutes. Virtually no lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel, bread and toffee malts with molasses and alcohol. Tasty is malty and fruity with sweet caramel malts, toffee, brown sugar and enough indeterminate hops to give it balance. Body is on the full side of medium carbonation is on the low side. Slick mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Hazy red orange color with virtually no lacing. Candied fruit cake and baking spices on the nose. You get a little fruit cake on the palate without being overly sweet. Great bread feel with a nice malt character through and through. Kudos for getting the style damn near perfect.

Summary: Thanks Jay for the bottle! I always prefer my German-style beers for the most part from Germany(Great Lakes is an exception), and this one is pretty solid.

33cl Brown bottle best before 08/2007, drank 12/2006. Part of a six-pack purchased while in Bavaria for the Munich O’fest during 2006, sad to break them up really. I shall have to drink the rest before they get lonely! See through reddish brown, sat in a Palm beer tulip glass, no head, which in my opinion ruins the look of a beer, no matter what style. Sweet aroma of caramel malts, getting stronger as the beer warmed in the glass. Fine balance of flavours and alcohol content, but the mouthfeel is watery for the strength of this beer, which is why my scores are all over the place. I don’t understand how the first taste of every sip is so good, but the mouthfeel is so weak, strange.

Poured a medium thin tanned head, which it made a reasonable attempt to retain. Dark amber colour with a slight haze. Smelled very boozy, blocked out everything else. Tasted dark chocolate, hints of plumb, caramel. Had a very long boozy finish. Thick texture, almost chewy, some gas. Overall very boozy, a bit too much.

Draught at Bavarian Bier Cafe in Sydney during their "Pure Bier Fest" throughout May. Pours translucent copper-brown with a medium cream white head showing good retention and lace. Rich caramel malt aroma with doughy yeasts and fruity hops. Yeasty bready palate with cherries and sultanas and mild bitter finish with the alcohol coming through right at the end. Good chewy body with perfect carbonation. Really enjoyed this one.

50 cl. bottle @ home. Copper brown with a huge tan head. Aroma of roasted malts with some coffee. Round mouthfeel, lively carbonation and some alcohol warmth. Overall a great beer.

From bottle, served in a branded pilsener glass at Biercraft on Cambie. Not much head. Nice aroma, and a light coppery color. Taste is understated, low key, but somewhat complex. Yeasty, bready, somewhat fruity. Very nice, mild beer.
