On tap at Bierfest-Hannover, a lovely red brown with a clingy head, caramel malt and dark fruit nose, hints of bread. Body is fruity, dry-sweet, faintly nutty, touches of toffee and prune. Excellent example of the style.

Nice roast grains come thorugh up front in aroma and flavor. Murky bown beer with thick, foamy head. Bitterness is not overbearing, but gives beer a nice bite.

33cL bottle. Decent aroma, taste was a little on the crisp side for a dunkel, but good all the same. Taste was the best attribute, but palate and appearance were good, too. Recommend it if you find it. 13/20 overall.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From BA: October 2007: Poured into a Schultheiss half litre sleeve glass 7 days in front of its best before date.
This flip-top brown bottle was bought while close to Koblenz earlier this year. The beer being produced to help keep the brewery afloat while all its old traditional outlets sell out to Bitburger.
A slight mist in the ’Alt bier’ type colour, muddy red, dark brown, with a firm biege head that stays the distance.
The aroma is all about maltiness, hops and yeast.
Good solid beery taste, the malts from the smell are very prominent in the taste as well. At first I thought it a little sweet, then a dryness arrives to take that idea away.
You know you are drinking a beer here, this has some body and substance to it.
I am glad I found this beer and also glad I enjoyed it. As I have said in other reviews for this brewery, it is an old favourite and I would hate for it to die. This beer could well be the one to save it from closure.

Swing top bottle. Dark brown color. Caramelly aroma and flavor with pear drups. Sweetish. Short aftertaste. Sticky mouthfeel. Not really interesting.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Cloudy brown, off-white lace. Roasted malt aroma. Light fruity notes, malt roast, somewhat bitter, layers with a minerallic note and the buttering hops. Caramel roasted aftertaste, slightly too sticky. Medium viscous body.

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Im Glas ist das Bier dunkelbraun und trüb. Wie der Name schon sagt. Der Schaum hält sich leider nicht allzu lange. Der Geruch dieses Bieres ist einfach unbeschreiblich gut. Würzig, leicht malzig, und ein sehr gutes Eigenaroma. Der Antrunk ist ebenfalls sehr fein. Röstmalzig, leicht Kaffeartig und der Nachgeschmack von frisch gebackenem Brot. Mit der Zeit wirds ein wenig säuerlich, was aber sehr angenehm wirkt. Meine hohen Erwartungen wurden voll und ganz erfüllt. Ein wirklich urig-rustikales Bierchen. Werd ich mir mit Sicherheit öfters besorgen...
