Bottle, 4.8%. Weak spicy aroma, slightly soapy. Clear light brown colour. Small tan head. The flavour is malty, more like a Dunkel, creamy and slightly spicy. Good.

Cookie dough aroma with a hint of cinnamon. Sweetish cookie dough flavor (Bastogne koeken!). Malty with a touch of bitterness coming up in the aftertaste. Better as expected.

Bottle: Clear amber to brown coloured, mid-sized off-white lacing head; very shy fruity nose, a tinge of caramel, a tinge of cardboard; extremely light malty taste, pretty on the "Dunkel" side; mild, slightly malty finish with a touch of bitterness; all in all drinkable, but rather weak.

(bottle) Supermarket brand, brewed for Rewe-markets. Clear mahogany coloured hue with a small but stable off-white head. Roastmalty aroma, not unpleasantly sweet and a hoppy note, no detectable fruity esters but a hint of glue. Dry roastmalty taste, light to medium bodied, ok-carbonated, almost lasting bitter hoppy finish. Still drinkable brew…if you are LOST on a remote island, far away from Düsseldorf. Probably the old DAB Alt.
