Bottle. Malty, roasted, a little bit yeasty. Dark red body. Nice big creamy white head, mostly lasting. Heavy bitter start & finish, medium duration. Medium body, dry & oily texture, soft carbonation. Moderate astringent finish. Too bitter for my taste

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel and a light note of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish.

Amber colour with an off white head. Malty, sweet aroma with caramel and fruity notes and a light hint of hops. Malty, light fruity and hoppy flavor.

Sweet chocolate aroma. Flavor is mild and bitter. Hints of smoke and nuts. Sweet malty undertones. Very nice, complex taste without being overpowering.

Bottle courtesy of Plucier: Poured a clear medium brown color beer with a small light brown foamy head with minimal retention. Aroma of caramel malt with some subtle chocolate notes also discernable. Taste is a mix between semi-sweet caramel malt with some nice touch of caramel malt. Interesting beer from a style that I have rarely the opportunity to try.

Poured to a hazy orange-red color, with thin off-white head that lingered ahwile and then dissipated to little lacing. Aroma was a pleasant blend of malty roasted nuts and floral hops. Mouthfeel was pleasant, though nothing particularly stood out. Flavor was a muted version of the nose, and the finish was slightly dry, slightly sweet. A well balanced beer that was pleasant to drink.

11.2 oz. bottle from German deli down the street. Poured an enticing hazy caramel color with a tight off-white head that left little to no lacing. Aroma is of warm malty goodness with an earthy roasted wood-like undertone. Medium bodies with an overall malty flavor and a little bitterness mid palate but a nice clean finish. Unfamiliar with this style in general, I’d say this is quite tasty, perfect for a fall evening and would be beautiful with a risotto dish or some of fall’s bolder flavors like sun-dried tomatoes or gourd dishes.

Bottle- Sampled @ Siebel during the German style tasting- Slightly hazy amber brown color, off white head. Nose has slight cardboard, darker malt notes. Drinking is very dry, assaulting the palate.
