Bottle@Home. Aroma is light fruity, herbal, notes of nuts and caramel. Amber color, large beige head, good lace. Light sweet, caramel malts, herbal, bitter hops, hazelnut, hint of vanilla. Medium body, light dry finish. Thanks to DerDoppelbock.

BartC (513) - Lichtaart, BELGIUM - SEP 10, 2007
Clear amber beer with a off-white, yellowish head. Very creamy and nicely lasting. Malty aroma and flavors. A bit of tartness. Exactly what I would expect from a beer brewed with only amber malts.

joergen (13935) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 20, 2007
Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber coloured with a creamy off white head. Malty aroma of fruits and caramel. Fruity flavour of malts, caramel and hops. Dry hoppy finish.

Many happy hours sampling this beer at their Stammhaus in Dusseldorf. My favourite alt of the trip - so drinkable and morish, not as bitter or dark as Uerige and not as light and hoppy as Schlussel, just a happy medium in between. The Stammhaus is also an excellent local compared to the taverns in the Altstadt than can be raucaus and slightly touristy.

henrikb (1317) - Aarhus, DENMARK - APR 17, 2007
Gravity - Beautiful clear red copper body with the creamiest perfect off white head; Super well made clear nose with lots of fruity aromas backed by a balanced amount of malt and noble hop aromas; Soft bitter balanced body with a small very pleasant amount of sharp carbonation; Very long fruity malty bitter fresh finish with green nut and bubblegum aromas. Amazing beer (at an amazing bar)

Fukito (610) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - MAR 31, 2007
Tap, march 07. Copper-golden color, crystal clear and a medium white head. Very nice caramel aroma with a touch of seaside saltiness. Slightly phenolic, peachy flavor, sligthly astringent too. Good, but not that great. A nice woody end. Medium MF and a lingering woody aftertaste. Nice but a bit rough alt.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAR 10, 2007
Cask at the brewpub. Lightly hazy copper colour. Very special estery nose with some sulphur and bubblegum. Dryish with rather clean mouthfeel and light body. Nice salty bitterness.

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - FEB 15, 2007
A comparable tangy orange, sweetly malty/bitter hoppy balance to some of the York brews. Lovely soft cereal-like biscuity afters and lingering hoppy bitterness. Fruity, malty, sweet and bitter. A beautifully rounded example.
