Commercial Description:
This traditional lager is medium in body with a deep roasted character. Its dark color and rich malty flavor come from specially roasted caramel and chocolate malts. This brew is lightly hopped with Noble Bavarian hops for a soft spiciness and a smooth clean finish. Cheers!

[At Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] An almost opaque brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw and roasted malt, while the flavor primarily contains notes of roasted malt, giving it a dry end.

Bottled. Very dark brown, small creamy head. Sweet and fruity, lightly earthy with rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Medium bitterness. Well crafted, but perhaps too clean flavourwise.

Bottle, 4.9%. Roasted sweet liquorice aroma. Almost black colour. Small unstable brown head. The flavour is hard roasted with liquorice and a hint of sweetness. Reminds me of Köstritzer. Not bad.
