<i>Draught at the brewpub. </i> Clear nut brown, minimal head. Roasty metallic nose. Medium sweet and lightly toasty with rounded mouthfeel. Finishes with metal and blood. A bit too much surface and too little content, more in line with American brewpubs than Franconian.

Bottle at the brewery in Schammelsdorf. Dark brown color with a tan head. Nose of rich and sweet tobacco, toffee, roast and caramel. Doppelbock-like nose, sweet, lightly alcoholic and fruity. Rich and flavorful toffee and bread crust throughout, very toasty with a faint bit of roast as well. Similar to a porter or stout at times, bready, fresh, and delicious.
