The fast is over - time for a Borbecker Fastenbier
The beer was poured from a keg.

Review

The birthday went on and the next beer on the table was the Borbecker Fastenbier. According to the waiter this is Märzen. Derived from the beer colour, which is black – looks like a Guinness – I’ll call it a Dunkles Märzen. The Dunkles Märzen has a burned, malty, caramel, oily and a little hoppy… Full review only available for loged in users.
