Plankstetten Spezial

Courtesy of fonefan. Clear deep golden with a medium of white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of caramel adn bread. Flavour was sweet and had notes of malt, caramel, grains and mild hops towards the finish.

Bottle: Poured a light amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light floral caramel malt with some nice clean crisp hops in the finish. Taste is also dominated by a mix between some light dry caramel malt with subtle floral notes and a subtle but still noticeable clean crisp hoppy finish. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Not bad but lacking some depth.

Bottled sample. Dark gold in colour with a bit of haze and medium carbonation. Aromas of pale and caramel malts, whole wheat bread dough, and a bit of hay. Lots of fruity caramel flavors in the mouth, along with notes of yeast , bread, and a touch of earthy hops. Low bitterness and a bit sweet on the finish. Average at best.

Bottle from De Bierkoning. Hazy deep golden with a small white head. Dusty bread and fruit nose. Sweet bready flavours. Lacking some good hoppiness, but still drinkable.
