reddish brown beer with a yellowish offwhite head (dissaqpears quickly). the beer smells malty, a bit like sauce, a bitteralmond-like hint too, some sweat and hops. taste of malt, hops, bittersweet. aftertaste is bittersweet, malt and syrup

Bottled from Russian shop in Aachen. dark amber color eith huge fluffy but not long-lasting head. Roasted malts nose. Aroma is the same. Flavour is the same with some coffee. Finish is a bit watery otherwise ok. sticky and bitter mouthfeel.

Bottle. Good white head on a dark brown beer. Strong caramel aroma, slightly sweet. Sweet flavor with a background of caramel and burnt malt. Could use a little more hops. It is a decent dark beer, a dunkel-type lager, I would guess. Not too different from the Austrian dunkels. Decent tasting, medium heavy body, pretty nice, though could be stronger in flavor.

Pours a very dark amber - caramel and malty aroma - sweet on the palate - I enjoyed this beer but it is nothing extraordinary

Aroma of bread, caramel and chocolate. Appearance was brown-red with creamy head that was ever present. Flavor of sweet caramel, chocolate and brown sugar. Palate was creamy. Rather good.

500mL bottle - pours a pale yellow. Mouthful is quite thin and moderately flavoured, but refreshing. Sweet malt, bread and light hops. Good beer.

Bottle. Looks good with a reddish copper pour and a creamy beige head that lasts well but unfortunately its not all good news about this beer. The aroma is mainly of sweet malt and caramel and the flavour is pretty much the same but with what tastes like an additional heaping of sugar. Mouthfeel manages to be both thin and sticky at the same time. Quite light for a dunkel, this beer is drinkable but you want to be in the mood for something sweet.

pours amber, golden head. Aroma is grainy with a barnyard/rye nose and caramel. Flavor, bready malty, plenty of dark sugar and light dark fruits. Hint so hops, but overall profile remains strong in caramel and rye. Tasty!
