◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to copper-brown, characteristic of the Bock style's SRM 33. The beer presents good clarity with a stable, off-white head that clings to the glass with deliberate persistence. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting a full visual presence without aggression.

◌ Aroma

Munich malt dominates the nose with warm, bread-like sweetness and a subtle caramel undertone. Orange peel adds a quiet citrus brightness, while anise emerges gently in the mid-range—spice without sharpness. The overall impression is composed and inviting, with no harsh alcohol edges despite the 5.7% ABV.

◐ Geschmack

Sweet entry of caramel and Munich malt richness, immediately balanced by the restrained biterness of 21 IBU. The mid-palate layers in orange zest and anise, creating a spiced complexity that prevents cloying heaviness. The body is substantial yet clean, with the modest hopping allowing malt and spice character to lead throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish lingers gently with caramel notes and a whisper of spice, trailing into a soft, slightly sweet aftertaste. No sharp drying or metallic notes interrupt the warm, malty conclusion.
