Man this is the best German beer I have ever had. Carmel flavors work with lively carb to mask the heavy alcohol. makes this smooth and easy drink. lt has an amber colour ... which is pleasant surprise because one would expect a really dark colour if you where sipping this out of the bottle before you poured it. Good stuff. .

(Bottle) Pours a reddish brown with a small creamy off-white head. The aroma is medium malty/syrupy and light hoppy with tones of caramel, syrup, dark (rye) bread, vanilla-ish marshmallows, light honey, light marzipan, light toasted almonds, and flowers. Some dried fruits and brown sugar in the undertones. The flavour is medium to full malty and light hoppy with tones of caramel, syrup, dark bread and flowers alongside a light touch of dried fruits. Some alcohol is present in the flavour. Medium to full sweet and light bitter. The mouthfeel is somewhat creamy but too clean/sterile with a light sticky touch. The finish is light numbing from the alcohol with some earthy bread-like tones lingering. Medium to full bodied.

bottled. Nice chestnut brown color, beige head, no lace. Aroma has malts and is flat. Flavour has malts and fresh bread. Alcohol is well hidden. not a beer for late July

Pours clear brown with a decent sized tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt. Taste of sweet malt, dark fruits and a bit of alchohol in the end. Not bad. Not too cloying, but sweet. Hey Grim, I bet you rated this higher then me!

0,5 l tap at Ølgrotten in Tivoli, København. Brown color, off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt. Flavor is fine sweetness from malt and fruit. Hints of alcohol.

Bottle from 2006. Brown pour fizzy head. Caramel roast aroma. Slightly oxidized flavor combined with dark fruit, malts, and yeasty

12 ounce bottle- poured a rich amber-gold with a fair, but short-lived head. Aroma was dried fruit. Taste was dark fruit and very slightly floral. Very nice. Big points for the silky smooth palate. A good one.

Bottle. Dark ruby, dissipating head. Sweet aroma of burnt sugar and caramel malts. Sweet spicy flavour of dark fruits and dark sugar with a distinct alcohol sting. Very nice cookie dough finish. Like a less refined Belgian, but great value for money.
