An amber beer with a huge beige head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, while the flavor is lightly sweet with notes of caramel, leading to a bitter end.

Brown coloured brew with an fine roasted malts taste with an good sweet bitter finish.

Malzig und karamellig im Geruch. Malziger Anlauf. Die Mitte zeigt sich würziger mit herben Einschlag, der im Verein mit etwas Malz den Abgang bestimmt. Ganz okay.Test vom 22.6.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche

bottle from landbierparadies. dark amber with not much of a head; hint of bovril in the aroma and some golden syrup; light bitterness, somewhat tinny; not a lot of dark flavours but ok anyway

(bottle) Clear, reddish amber colour with a medium-sized, beige foamy head. Sweet and moderately toasted malty aroma with a touch of caramel, sour-dough and earthy hoppy notes. Sweet flavour with a sourish, subtle fruity touch, Slightly toasted malty and leafy taste with shy notes of caramel and some herbal accents; medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation; sweet and slightly bitter toasty malty finish with traces of herbal hops. Average Dunkel.

(bottle) pours a clear ruby-amber colour with a small off-white head. aroma of roasted malts, barnyard, caramel and sweet spices, a tad musty. flavour is mostly strongly roasted malts with a hint of coffee, finish is like hamster-urine though. medium body and carbonation.

The head is medium, the body brown. It smells like hops, musty-wooden and strange. The taste is sweet, hoppy, earthy-wooden. Medium and strange 9/7/8/7/8/7

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2011 Orange brown color, small frothy head. Caramel aroma cabbage and barnyard smell. Sweet flavor with caramel, chichorei and a velvety edge. A bit skunky aftertaste. Not entirely succeeded dunkel. (2.2) Re-rate august 2011. Tap @ Hotel zum Löwen Schwabthal. Carame;aroma. Maltflavor. Sweetish with milk chocolate, toffee. Sticky mouthfeel. A bit too sweet.

Deutlicher Malzantrunk mit milden, dafür aber breit gestreuten Röstnoten, die lange erhalten bleiben. Durch den Hopfen, der sich im Malz zu verstecken versucht gelangt Frische ins Bier. Nur wenig würzig, dafür wird die Röstmalzigkeit zum Ende hin stärker, das Bier behält so ssine Grundstimmung. Wenig trockener Abgang, in dem das Röstmalz weicher wird. Nettes Dunkles. 8/9/9/8/9/8

Bottle by 26.10.12. Nose dark toffee and earth, caramel, light hops. Deep amber-brown, dark with a short sudsy beige head. Not really all that sweet or bitter (do we call that balance?), hint of sourness that seems like it might be the winner. A little more fruit in the mouth than nose. Heavy medium-full body, too heavy, and sharp with a crisp fizz. Faint nuts and hops.
