omhper (10950), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 11, 2008 <i>Bottled, thanks Bov! </i> Mahogany colour, small head. Dusty roasty aroma. Fruity with medium body and clean rounded mouthfeel. The flavour never really gets going - there are just some faint salty toffee that quickly fades. Bov (4744), Bienne, Switzerland Apr 1, 2008 pours a clear and bright ruby-brown colour, big creamy beige head; notes of shy toasted malts; aroma of caramel and butter, sweet and moderate malt body, smooth, no noticable bitterness; no palate profile; moderate caramelish and gently malty aftertaste - boring pivnizub (4007), Porúří, Germany Jul 22, 2007 Bügelverschlußflasche (Dank an Quack-Duck !): Deep amber coloured, clear, small, but persistent off-white foam, sticking to the glass; delicate sweet-dark-malty and nutty nose, caramel and roasted malt hidden in the wings; dry (malty-)bitter flavour; traces of caramel in the bitter sweet finish. Pleasant to drink........ Quack-Duck (1976), Bodensee, Germany Jun 23, 2007 bottle. Reddish-brown colour, medium-sized creamy head. Flavours of malt, roasted malt, caramel and coffee. A tiny bit watery in the middle, but hardly noticeable. MoritzF (4019), Ruhrpott, Germany Mar 1, 2007 (swing top bottle, from quack-duck) Clear, dark mahogany colour with a fluffy tanned foam, slowly lacing. Slightly dusty, mild-roasty malty aroma with a touch of caramel, cacao and a whiff of hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Toast-malty taste, notes of caramel; quite slim, malty finish with toffee and faint herbal hops. Not exceptional, but likeable.
