Hrabren	3.3 DBB Bergmann Schwarzbier 0.33 l bottle from Bier Laden, Berlin, shared with Fates11 at the Templehof Fluegzeug tower. Drank from the bottle. Malty caramely and roasty aroma. Light to medium body, some sweetness, lean roasty flavour. Light dry finish. Saturday, April 6, 2024
Idiosynkrasie	3.5 DBB Bergmann IPA 750ml bottle [7.1% abv]. Opalescent, yellow-ish, golden colour with average to huge, frothy, very slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Piney, slightly floral and grassy, minimally citrusy, hoppy aroma, slightly spicy, pale malty background, a touch of lemongrass, fresh hay, salty cracker. Taste is slightly spicy, minimally biscuity, pale malty with some residual sweetness, and moderately bitter, piney, grassy and slightly floral, minimally citrusy hoppy, hints of lemongrass, a touch of lemon biscuit, salty cracker; minimally waxy overtones. Oily texture, smooth, soft, minimally greasy, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, soft, mildly prickly carbonation. Rather savoury hop flavours, nice spicy aspects - though in no way common as miner's after-work drink in the Ruhr, this interpretation of the IPA style has exactly the gruffness probably appreciated amongst them; kannste trinken. Friday, March 29, 2024
Zlotta	3.6 DBB Bergmann Rot 0.75 l bottle from 'Bergmann Stehbierhalle', best before February 2024. Clear, ruby with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of caramel, red fruits and light nuts. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, slightly fruity taste of caramel, red fruits and some nuts, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Well-brewed lager, very easy to drink yet moreish, overall fairly enjoyable. Another solid brew by Bergmann, they have become a very reliable source for all kinds of beer, not only the strong ones anymore. Saturday, December 23, 2023
phank	3 DBB Bergmann Pils Friday, November 24, 2023
Zlotta	3.1 DBB Bergmann Alkoholfrei 0.33 l bottle from 'Craft Bier Bude', best before September 2024. Hazy, golden with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, quite fruity-floral aroma of tangerine, orange and light corn flakes. Gently sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity-floral taste of grains, orange, tangerine and light corn flakes, followed by a short, gently bitter, moderately dry finish. Thin to medium body, smooth but quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Solid NA beer. Saturday, November 11, 2023
Zlotta	3.9 DBB Bergmann Adams Kumpel 0.75 l bottle from 'Bergmann Stehbierhalle', best before January 2024. Slightly hazy, very dark ruby to black with a large, dense, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and rather fruity-resiny aroma of tropical fruits, blueberry, tobacco, caramel, some pine and a touch of chocolate. Gently sweet, malty, fairly roasty, quite fruity-resiny taste of dark chocolate, hard roasted coffee, ash, licorice, tropical fruits, blueberry and some pine, followed by a medium long, very roasty-bitter finish. Full body, smooth and quite effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Great BIPA, very intense, highly saturating. Probably an alias of 'Kraftstoff' (same hops, almost the same abv, more or less the same description). Thursday, October 19, 2023
WillemsUrenkel	3.4 DBB Bergmann Adam 0,75 l bottle from Dehlwisch, Lohne. Cloudy mahagony in the glass, more than one finger pale beige foamy head. Looks good. Malty aroma with herbal elements. Taste starts also malty, cough drops, herbal, bitter hop. Low carbonated. Interesting stuff. Saturday, September 2, 2023
Schlenkerla29	2.9 DBB Bergmann Schwarzbier Dem Auge wird ein tiefes Schwarzbraun geboten, dazu eine übersichtliche Menge beigefarbenen Schaums. Die Nase erfasst dünne Röstaromen, Kaffee, ein Quentchen süßes Karamellmalz und eine dezente Hopfenherbe. Es steigt weich und verhalten röstmalzig mit hintergründiger Malzsüße ein. Zart säuerliches Brot und Anklänge an Lakritz treffen im weiteren Verlauf aufeinander. Hinzu stößt eine schwache, kräuterige Hopfenherbe. Bei milder Rezenz handelt es sich um einen vollmundigen Vertreter seiner Zunft. Im Abgang geben sich ein wenig Bitterschokolade und eine milde Hopfenherbe zu erkennen. Bei diesem malzaromatischen, lieblichen und süffigen Bier handelt es sich aus meiner Sicht um ein gut trinkbares Hybrid aus Dunkel- und Schwarzbier. Wednesday, August 23, 2023
WillemsUrenkel	3.3 DBB Bergmann Kellerpils 0,33 l bottle from Dehlwisch, Lohne. Cloudy pale golden with a more than one finger white foamy head. Caramel with a lot of citrus on the nose, little bit grassy. Taste starts with das caramel, dry citrus, smooth grassy grainy. Present and pleasant mid bitterness. Nice. Saturday, August 19, 2023
Moravius	3 DBB Bergmann Schwarzbier "Bergmann Schwarz", Fläschchen vom Biermeister, Berlin-Schöneberg. - Tiefdunkles, fast schwarzes Rotbraun; dunkelbeigefarbener Schaum. - Zurückhaltende Nase mit dezenter Mokkaschokolade, zarter Kaffeesäure und sehr milder Hopfung. - Antrunk füllig dunkel- und röstmalzig mit maßvollen Röstaromen, starker aber süßer Kaffee, leichte Rosinen. Mittlere Süße. Milde, blaß zitrusfruchtige Hopfung. Milder rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang fein schokoladebitter und nur dezent hopfenwürzig herb. - Schönes, rundes Schwarzbier, das für meinen Geschmack aber etwas kantiger sein dürfte. Im Nachtrunk geradezu enttäuschend. (11.7.2023.) Tuesday, July 11, 2023

Idiosynkrasie	2.6 DBB Bergmann Export II 330ml bottle. Clear, orange golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Grainy and strawy, pale malty and minimally grassy, hoppy aroma. Taste is slightly strawy, pale malty, a touch of light caramel, mildly bitter, grassy hoppy counterpart. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Feels really like the 70s, you might even believe you could taste some cigarette smoke impregnated train station pub ambience - authentic, not good. Tuesday, April 4, 2023
Idiosynkrasie	2.7 DBB Bergmann Spezial II 330ml bottle. Clear, faint, amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head.

Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Light and watery, rather expressionless - nope. Tuesday, April 4, 2023

Moravius	3.2 DBB Bergmann 1972 "DBB '72", 75-cl-Flasche aus Tausch mit Pivnizub - danke, Günther! - Orangegold, schwach trüb; üppiger Schaum. - In der Nase bocktypisch fettes helles Malz, Kandissüße und "angedickte" zitronige Hopfung, eher Zitronat als Zitronenschale. - Antrunk fett hellmalzig mit süßlicher Zitrone von mäßiger Herbe. Satte malzige Tiefe trägt die bocktypisch mächtige Malzsüße mit Anklängen an Honig, die gleichwohl auf Dauer zu prominent ist. Milder rezent, mastig. Im Abgang gedämpfte Herbe und mehr Zitronat. - Fett hellmalziger Bock, zwar wie angekündigt "hopfenbetont" aber etwas eindimensional und letztlich nicht bitter genug um die prominente Süße aufzufangen. Dennoch eine gültige Bock-Interpretation. (28.1.2023.) Saturday, January 28, 2023
Zlotta	3.7 DBB Bergmann ‘72 gestopft 0.75 l bottle from 'Bergmann Stehbierhalle', February 2023. Almost clear, amber with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head.

jonas	4 DBB Bergmann Roter Bock Bottle, danke Günther! Chill haze dark red amber, low golden head. Fairly berry sweet caramel aroma. Medium to full, light sparkly and sticky, very balanced on the palate, not much that gives the strength away. Fizzing caramel covered fruit, all the red berries, dry malt, a hint roast, citric, earthy and grassy backstop. Nice! Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Im Abgang schöne Malzbittere und zitrusfruchtige Hopfenbittere. - Wuchtiger aber runder Doppelbock von lebhafter Aromenfülle, nur stellenweise zu deutlich alkoholisch. (25.12.2022.) Sunday, December 25, 2022
pivnizub	3.8 DBB Bergmann ‘72 gestopft Buegelverschlußflasche (750ml): Hazy, deep golden, small but stable white creamy foamy layer, distinctive sweet honeyish and pale-malty nose, ripe fruits - not very exotic - included, pretty mild herbal to flowery bitter backbone; quite robust bitter-sweet flavour, almost full bodied; lingering and a bit drier herbal-hoppy and pale-malty finish. Yes, another goody from our great local Starkbier-workshop… Wednesday, December 21, 2022
Marko	3.8 DBB Bergmann Export Gestopft Bottle, that Jonas shared with me (thank you!) - originally courtesy of Pivnizub (so thx Günther as well). Hazy yellow-golden body, white head.

Fin	3 DBB Bergmann Pils Bottle picked up from Hopfen Sei Danke webshop and consumed at home Thursday 3rd November 2022 whilst listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music, it's Round Table tonight, we have Rhys with us and we're cooking Chicken with Chorizo and Potatoes traybake. Pours gold with a light haziness, light fruitiness, this is fine but seems like a less interesting version of the kellerpils that I have just had from the same brewery, it's fine but it's all a little muted. Thursday, November 3, 2022
