The aroma is malty (cookies, caramel), some citrus hops and some smoke. The flavour was malty (cookies, bready, caramel), slightly sweet, cirtus hops, nutty. Bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a lingering hop bite, dry. Quite nice.

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2007 I enjoyed this one. Translucent brown with a moderate head. Aroma of noble hops, maybe Saaz and/or Hallertau and rich caramelly malt. Slightly bitter. Delicious. Mouthfeel is bubbly and light. Finish is slight dry. Great beer!

UPDATED: MAR 31, 2010 Dark amber w/ a tight head that diminishes to a nice ring. Very nicely balanced flavor--a deep munich malt richness balanced w/ a floral nobel hop aroma and a good dash of bitterness. Delectably quaffable and an elegant example of the style. Neato bottle too.

Tasted 18th jan. 2005 at the brewery. A very good beer but measured bitterness was only 26 IBU’s. All the stories on the internet about higher hoprates and dry hopping are b******t. It has more alcohol than Uerige Alt, but less bitterness.

Not only is the beer inside the bottle very good, the bottle itself is unique and very eyecatching. Shaped like a German handgrenade, the beer won’t blow up the taste buds with anything unusual, but it you will be happy that you took the time to drink this. An aroma of sweet caramel malts, earthy hops, slightly nutty, and a bit oxidized. A ruddy brown, hazy color with a 1-finger thick head. Caramel malts, grassy with just a touch of spices makes this one a drinker. Reminded me of a subdued English barleywine in some ways. Very tasty beer. I enjoyed this one much more than their Dopple Sticke.

initially, I got an nose of cherry, but it further developed into a bit of a fig aroma, with some hints of "other fruit" tartness. Upon an initial sip, fig definitely stands out as the dominant flavor. It a very good beer with deep, rich fruit flavors. I’m not quite sure what I was getting, but it was dark, rich, and bold. A very rich brew.

11.2 fl oz (thanks to Jessica). This was a great choice! Mellow notes on the aroma, yet very pleasant. Nutty German cookies is what comes to mind. Also, some caramel, light citrus, earthy grass, buttered rolls, and a light herbal spice. A gorgeous beer as well. Huge creamy ivory colored head, nice retention and lacing, a cloudy, mostly opaque, fiery copper colored body. With the taste, a medium full feel, quite smooth and buttery with just enough crisp punch. A zesty grass permeates through out and lingers nicely past the finish with nice cookie malts to balance it out. Also, light citrus, caramel, and lightly nutty cereal grains. Overall, a very drinkable beer, that I feel would work great at anytime of the year, not just the two dates described. Would definitely be a go to beer if in Germany and it were available year round.

Bottle from pivnizub, děkuji. Dark amber color with small beige head. Aroma of dried red fruit, flowery hints, caramel. Taste, starts as little bit as medicine, then continues with caramel, malt, some brandy like hints. Long bitter, alcoholic finish. Nice.
