Jan 6, 2009 Draught, 2% at the brewpub. Caramelly and buttery aroma, quite nice. Almost black colour, seems clear. Stable light brown head. The flavour is quite sweet with lots of brown sugar notes. Distinguished from other beers of the style by a subtle spicy hoppiness, which helps to balance the sweetness ever so slightly. Quite nice.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle: Deep ruby-amber coloured, fluffy beige loose head; moderate fruity (berries), coffeeish and sweet nose; moderate sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; short sweet coffeeish finish. Not bad and far better than an average "low-alcohol".....

Mar 2, 2008 bottle, tarded with Kölschtrinker. Amber-brown colour, small but creamy beige head. Lightly hoppy, not unpleasantly sweet - well balanced for its style. Nice!

Feb 7, 2008 Draught, Malzmühle, Köln.
Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly lasting.
Body is dark brown to black.
Aroma is moderately malty (burnt caramel, molasses, cereal, nuts), lightly yeasty (dough), with a light note of raisin.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter.
Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, soft carbonation.
I felt stupid even ordering this, but all in all it’s not bad for a malt. Barley’s answer to soda pop.

Jun 10, 2007 Reddish brown pour covered by a fair off-white head. Caramelly nose with cherry coke notes and a certain biscuity character that feels more malty than any of the other malzbier I’ve had. Unagressive carbonation, juicy, fruity palate with enough acidity to keep in check. A fine example of a style that serves a noble purpose!

Mar 17, 2007 Das beste Malzbier. das ich bis jetzt getrunken habe. Es ist nicht so sßü wie viele andere Malzbiere, man schmeckt hier, dass es anders als der übliche Malztrunk ist. Leichte Hopfigkeit und sogar eine minimale Herbe, die aber von der Süße übertrumpft wird, sind zu erkennen.

Oct 25, 2006 (Draught, 20 cl, on place at the brewpub) Dark brown color, appears to be clear, tan head. Very sweet scent, mixed with a good portion of butterscotch. Very very sweet taste that lingers, no beer flavor at all. Sweet aftertaste. Full body but no bitterness.
