Bottle, 5.8%. Clear grey amber colour. Small head. The flavour is OK malty, there is a faint hint of anise. The finish has a little spicy hops. Everything is very subtle, but OK.

Bottled. An amber beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and malt, as well as hints of something roasted. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and nuts, leading to a bitter nutty finish.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a one finger thick and off-white head. Mild spiced and roasted malt aroma. Mild sweet to breadish malt flavoured initially. Caramelish to toffee sweet following. Ends mild bitter and persisting malt flavoured.

The bottle looks really god, very christmas-like. The beer in the glass looks also good. Flavor is strong, unfortunately also a little bit alcoholic. Nevertheless a good beer.

Bottle: Light amber coloured, lively carbonation, firm, creamy off-white head, shy swett and dark-malty and a bit hoppy nose with a faint tinge of alcohol; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied for a beer of 5.8%; light bitter and dark-malty finish. Not exciting, but O.K.......

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a big and dense, slightly off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet and a bit shy aroma of cara-malt, herbal hops and a tinge of lemon. Cara-malty, subtle fruity (lemon) taste with a tinge of honey, quite slim mouthfeel, soft carbonation; sweet and slightly bitter, malt-accented and nutty finish with noticeable herbal, slightly fruity hops. A bit slim but clean and quaffable.

bottle, purchased at the sternquell fan-shop in plauen. golden, a semi-stale pear aroma that suggested it was past its best, some vanilla and caramel and lightly nutty. pretty average, like most of their beers, although i would recommend visiting the fan-shop
