From tap sitting in front of Klosterbräu. The color is a beautiful red amber and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and hints of coffee. The flavour has sweetness, that is nicely balanced by a citrussy bitterness, that develops more and more dry. It has notes of caramel and roasted malt. It’s not bad, but towards the end it grows a bit stale.

May 22, 2008 A Mes rate: Gravity serving at Zeitgeist.
Golden amber with a thin white rim. Good German malt aroma, very earthy and peaty with some lovely mellow hops. Reminds me a lot of Mill Quarter hops. Restrained but very noseable. Flavour is spicy and has plenty of malt. Tangy and earthy with a very dry finish. Interesting beer.

Body is light amber.
Aroma is moderately malty (toasted grain, caramel), lightly hoppy (flowers, herbs).

Didn’t quite rock me, but it was damned solid.
