Bottle, from shop at Bayreuth Hauptbahnhof. Copper bronze, good off white head and gentle condition. Low soapy hop aromas, caramel sweet and malty in the mouth with some background hops. Spicy finish with hints of malt and bread.

.5L bottle - Shared w/ SkyCop32. Pours a nice deep dark amber. Aromas of caramel and dark malts. Flavors a molasses, fruit and mild hopping.

Had this one in Bayeruth at Schinner’s Brauhaus. It poured a dark brown with red tones. Big off-white head. Nose of clean malts and maybe some chocolae. Medium body. Even though it seems heavy because of its color, when you closed your eyes it was simply heavenly. I really liked this one.

Cereal, dusty, mustard seed and vegetable nose - funky! (but not necessarily good). Clear brown color and low head. Malty front but vegetable tastes - cabbage. Burnt roasted end. Thin and quick. Not so good.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2005 Jan 2, 2005(6,3,5,2;11 - 2.7) No head, wonderful red brown amber color. Cellery, malt, mustard seeds and cereal nose - yes, weird. Cereal malt, slightly sweet but intense cabbage taste and...I’m not a big friend of cabbage even though I’m a Kraut. RERATE: Bottle was Altbayreuther Braunbier which the brewer confirmed is the former name of Schinner Altfranken Braunbier. One of the Rerates that suprised my by the difference in the outcome. This time I noted: Nice brown red color, fast diminishing head, soft carbonation. Molasses, honey and caramel toffee nose. Very clean in taste and smell. Sweet honey malt and cookie taste - medium lasting, nice but a bit to sweet for my taste.

The head is medium, the body brown. It tastes darkmalty, a bit smokey, malty, interesting. Ok 10/11/9/9/10/10

500ml fliptop bottle: pours clear brown with a medium sized beige head. Light aroma of roasted malt followed by some chocolate. Flavor is lightly roasted malt and a bit of chocolate with a slight sweetness. Medium to light bodied. A pretty nice beer that goes down easily.

500 ml flip-top bottle from Wasana’s in Germany. Pours a nice dark clear brown color with a dark tan head. Aroma is sweet wheat, malt and wood. Taste is a nice mix of the same. Palate is very good and smooth and sweet.

Cloudy orange coloured with a small off white head. Nice malty aroma with notes of fruits and corn. Flavor of roasted malt, slightly acidic finish.

Pours a dark brown with a frothy beige head. Aroma is nutty and slightly roasted malt. Taste is clean, fairly crisp, slightly roasted and some chocolate points. Fairly boring but all around good beer.
