Oct 19, 2008 Bottle 33 (quite nice shape). Good amber beer with a very malty and cereal aroma. I agree with the licorice taste in the finish.

Jul 21, 2008 Sampled @ Pint Meibockfestival, on tap. Brown beer, off white head. Nose of flowers, burnt malts. Taste is ryebread, sweetness, flowers, soft burnt malts. Soft mouthfeel, but sweetness becomes cloying.

Aroma: nice, pumpernickel grain with some mocha and noble hops. Also a touch of roast in the aroma. Almost cloudy brown with a lasting off-white ring. Very nice, toasy, chewy flavour, a bit tangy, with quite a bit of liquorice and some pumpernickel. A bit sweet, brown sugary. Low bitterness, probably coming from the dark malts. Medium body and chewy like some weizens Lasting sourish liquorice flavour.
