Didn't wish to denigrate your hobby horse - everyone has a right to their own insanity!  No offence meant.

Thanks re correct definition of Vollbier, of course, I did know that somewhere in the back of my mind. 

Re Dunkel and dunkles - but isn't dunkles Lager' often referred to just as 'ein Dunkles', so has become a noun in its own right?

Would I know that Schwarze Anna is dark coloured in a blind tasting?  No idea, in blind tastings, people have not been able to tell between many apparently different flavours.  'Tis said we eat and drink with our eyes as well as our taste buds, so I suppose defining by colour has a purpose.  Anyway, Schwarze Anna is J's specialist subject.

Incidentally, she liked the substitute (SS Taddy Porter) but not as much as SA and I liked the other beer (can't remember what is was now).  Re the two beers with different hops (Hersbruck and Polaris), I wasn't madly keen, I could taste the difference but the overall impression was of drinking liquid hay or grass!  Maybe a new beer category.
