Poured from the bottle with a monster head, rocky and aromatic, ruby red and opaque. Heavy caramel nose. Slight smokiness with a medium bitterness. Altbiers were the first beer I ever really drank, and this was a nice flashback.

Bottle. Mildly roasted metallic aroma with a touch of pepperiness. Blegh. Transparent copper/amber color with a nice frothy, creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Starts with mild caramel notes which turns empty and bland in the middle. Subdued roastiness to finish. Some metallic flavors are also present in the finish. This is a smooth, easy-drinking German session beer.

Bottle. Brown pour. Small clean malty nose. Caramel and malt flavors, maybe some light flavor hops, and a decent bitter bite.

Pours a light brown with a nice sized white head. Has some caramel and coffee qualities to the flavor. This beer is much better on tap.

Pours a beautiful dark brown with little head to speak of. Nice mix of roasted malt and chocolate rounded out by a subtle hops presence. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. A very good beer.

Served in Frankenheim specific glass at Waldo Pizza. Brown, and crystal clear with no head. I felt the aroma was lacking but there was some choco-caramel notes. Very good Choco-caramel flavor though. Med body. For 2 bucks a glass you can’t beat it.

Bottle into kolsch glass, Edelweiss Restaurant, Bellevue NE. Yellowish off-white head over a bread-crust brown and clear beer. Aroma of bread/cookie, with a bit of citrus crisp. Prickly hops up front, candied caramel apple flavor is dominant, cookie, and brown sugar in a malty finish (some wheat malt notes of acidity and yeast). Great level of acidity and subdued sweetness. Nice european hops on the finish as well. A bit watery on the mouthfeel, medium bodied and softly balanced.

Beautiful dark amber color. Nice head out of bottle. Looks rich, and tastes terrific!!! Caramel sweet and coffee undertone makes this a very drinkable and thrist quenching beer. A little bit of a woodsy apple finish. I like this one very much. Great beer!!!
