Jun 26, 2009 Brewery tap. Dark brown color, cloudy. Caramel and chichory in the aroma, with butter. Malty, buttery, caramelly flavor. Diacetyl! Probably in tended. Not too unpleasant though.

Oct 13, 2008 Draught Deep ruby-red beer with accajou highlights under a cream-amber dense head. In fact it looks just amazing. Diacetyl jumping out of the glass with toffee & caramel aroma; very sweet-smelling, syrupy. Caramel, and less buttery than the nose, but still diacetyl infected. Caramelsyrup. Creamy-buttery-diacetylly mouthfeel. Not succeeded; like drinking liquid butterscotch toffees.

Aug 27, 2008 On tap at the brewery.
Had all the Griesbräu beers and this was by far the best. A wonderful dunkel with great malt character, rich creamy head and wonderful malt aroma. When I first smelled this I thought "if this tastes like it smells, we have a winner". And it does!

May 12, 2007 1L bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, German beer week 2006). Rich flavour - fruity and bready - but dominated by sourness. Not a light fresh sourness, but a thick and sticky type. Probably good with cheese.

Oct 28, 2006 Bottle @ the German beer festival, One Pint, Helsinki. Great 1 litre bottle. Quite sweet aroma, some sour notes. I got to think of...puke. Quite shallow dark looks. Wonderful taste though. Orange in the start, cucumber in the finish!

Oct 16, 2006 (Bottled) Very hazy, dark reddish brown color with a very small head. Very mild aroma with dark fruit hints and slight smoky-salty-sour hints. Mildly roasty, malty and fruity flavor with some smokiness and lots of salt in the finish. Medium-bodied, smooth-carbonated, slicky palate. A sourish, not very clean, but reasonably enjoyable brew.
