Bottle. Bronze body, nice head. Earthy autumn aroma with a hint of smoke. Well balanced - taste is malty and sweet. The sweetness is balanced with woodiness in aftertaste. Very good, seems to be underrated here.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20

Lovely lighter roast and caramel in the mouth, toffee, chocolate, earth, sweet and sticky, touch of tang and some sharp crispness. Light citrus, hops, faint berries, good malt depth. Medium body, very flavorful. Surprised!

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 18, 2011 Bottle. Light grassy hop nose, earthy yeast. Hazy amber, low head. Full on fruity malt body, nuts, bread, light clay, quite a good portion of grassy hops, aromatic honey retronasal l. chewy mouthfeel. I just love fat fruity Marzen.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Germany. Dark amber. Caramel is evident in aroma and in tasting. Somewhat sweet, hoppy, with a bitter finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draft. Very slightly unfiltered beer. Fresh brown sugar and woody accents, with some pepper and herbs (parsley, fresh stuff, flowers). Flavor is surprisingly bitter at the warm end of the beer; this is so great, as even a low alch. beer like this can get sticky and too sweet. Even a slightly drying finish. Light-to-moderate sweetness and moderate bitterness. Light-bodied and easy to drink.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled 50cl. 5.1 ABV. It pours a beautiful clear amber beer with a nicely lasting head. Very impressive frutiy aroma of papaya, crackers, cinnamon, faint smoke, leather, apricot and strawberry. Smooth and delicious taste. The lovely edlerberry and papaya notes are really well integrated in the biscuity malt profile. Very faintly smoky. Low bitterness. Subtle carbonation. Light to medium bodied, not really "vollmundig" as indicated but surely respecting the "Stammwürze-Garantie" as shown on the label. Good lacework. Smoky malty finish. Underrated in my opinion. A great buy.
