(6/30/08) Bottle bought at the Schnupp brewery warehouse at Altdrossenfeld and shared with rickgordon, chris o and Ruth in the closed Schnupp biergarten. Clear red color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of malt, some toastiness and caramel. Sweetish malty flavor with some toasted bread and a slightly drier finish. Medium-bodied.

<i> From bottle at the brewery, it was closed but we got our share. </i> Red-copper colour. Really malty aroma with bit of toastiness. Good juicy maltiness. High quality. &#40;sun was shining&#41;

&#40;on bottle&#41; Medium to big malt nose and a very sweet taste. No faults here, and as the drinks settles ther are and short, sharp bitterness from the malts too. Very nice, clear, cheastnut brown and a steady, foamy head.

On tap at the Brauerei Schnupp Gashof. Sadly all the beers from this family brewery have a huge diacetyl house charecteristic. In the lighter beers it renders them almost undrinkable unless you are washing down movie-theater popcorn. In the Dunkel, the buttery house quality moves towards a butterscotch quality and allows the beer to be more consumable.

Bottled. Brownish amber coloured. Malty aroma and flavour with plenty of buttery caramel notes. Rather dry finish. Medium bodied.
