Impression: I was disappointed when this wasn’t available at their Bierkeller but loved their Lagerbier. So, I was excited to find this in a bottle. The first one lost most of its head but this one looks great, dark amber and off-white head. There’s some chocolate in the nose and it’s got a soft mouthfeel. It’s quite malty but not sticky with the chocolate peeking through. The hops are subdued but dry it out nicely in the moreish finish.
