50cl bottle @ Flensburg, Germany. Pours dark amber with a creamy white head. Grassy and bready with slight hints of caramel. Medium bodied. Dry and quite crisp. OK

Dark red with a thick and foamy off-white head that lasts quite a while and sticks to the glass. The bottle looks really good too. It has a pronounced hoppy nose with some lemongrass. The flavours I get are mostly caramel and a dominant but fine hoppy bitterness. Dry, above-average german beer with a soft carbonation. Could use a little more balance on the sweet side, at least for my liking.

Amazing beer with truly unique qualities. Caramel flavor, with floral and honey aromas. One of my all time favorites.

[bottle] Citrusy caramel/toffee aroma that is reminiscent of a British ale, but with some continental noble hops. Clear reddish amber with a lacy, off-white cover. Sweet caramel flavour with some floral hops. Significant bitterness that is in balance with the medium body and sweetness. Slightly metallic like a British bitter. Only a little nutty with notes of toffee and less citrusy than the aroma. Moderate to medium carbobnation. Lasting nutty bitter finish.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Clear copper colour, rich but brief head. Aroma of dust, honey and vegetables. Sweetish with industrial sharp and unfirm malt character. Flavour of boiled vegetables all the way to a dusty finish with some stale butter.

Swing-Top Bottle 50cl .Very nice green belle-epoque bottle. Pours an amber coloured reddish brew with fine but small head. Decent top fermenting yeast sourness, elegant and refined malt body, nice hoppy dryness. Allover a very balanced and interesting brew.

Bottle that I ordered in mixed box from Beers of Europe Pours chesnut brown with a nice bubbly head. Good malty beer, little drying, some safe bitterness. The aroma is malty with some candy but its not a big aroma. Taste is also a bit chewy with a lot of toffee, Loz gets copper coin. Its similar to a UK ESB at times, good beer. A6 A5 F6 P4 OV14 3.5

Flear copper with an offwhite head. Hay aroma. Good gingerbread and grassy hop flavours, but somewhat metallic towards the finish. Quite alright.
