Here's what they had to say about it....
A very old style of beer which is of German origin. Clean and full of character from the malt bill used, dark and bready with slight hoppy spice and floral touches. Slight sweetness is brought from the Caramunich but with a firm bitterness to finish the beer on the palette leaving you wanting to come back for more and more.

Comments:
This beer wants to be fermented cool to allow for little to no yeast character being imparted on the beer but do ensure it ferments fully, you can support this by either adding a second packet of yeast or creating a yeast starter.
