At the brewpub during Jolly to Bamberg 2014. Black beer with a decent beige head. Malty caramel aroma, licorice, viol, chocolate, fruity notes. Malty caramel flavor, sourish, floral, bready notes. Below par for this brewery.

bottle from mein-biershop. Hazy deep brown, creamy beige head. Chocolate, caramel, coffee and dried fruit, full-bodied and slightly yeasty. A dark delight.

It’s unclear brown-black with a red hue and a huge head. The aroma has notes of yeast, roasted malt, caramel and fruit. The sweet flavor has notes of yeast, licorice, caramel, fruit, and the finish is slightly dry with a hint of licorice and yeast. A very pleasant and different dunkel Weizen.
