From the brewer

Just cause it's dark and German doesn't mean it's an alt. Based on the obscure Kottbusser style of beer, this surprisingly dry beer retains all the aroma and nuance of honey (from bees) and molasses (not from bees) creating a perception of sweetness through cool, controlled fermentation. Because we're sweet enough damn it.

Who's been drinking this

More fruity or . . . I can't actually remember the type I'm thinking of. Tracey calls it a "feet beer".
Surprisingly unsweet for a beer with this description. The flavor profile brings to mind Munich dark lagers, crackery with a bit of singe, but a smooth finish with little bitterness. Not a chugger, but a very pleasant glass.
