Apperance: The brown is brown with a hint of orange, an off-white head leaving curtains, but little lacing. (3.5) Aroma: The smell is malty sweet and sour milk, toffee, dark bread, old sour cream and Sunday pot roast. (4) Taste: The taste has little sweetness, burnt toast and cereals from the malt going over in a sharp and distinct bitterness from the hops. Fresh pine nuts, bitter almond. (3.5) Palate: Medium low carbonation, a bit watery but mostly a definitive dry long lasting feeling. (3.5) Overall: A rather complex mixture of the spontaneous old odor and modern bittern feeling. Not bad, and probably very good to bratwürst und saurkraut. (3.5)
