Berg & Hauck's Old Time Aromatic Bitters 4OZ is a small-batch aromatic bitters produced in Bavaria, Germany, by Bitter Truth GmbH using extra-slow maceration of all-natural roots, seeds, barks, fruits, and herbs. Bottled at 39% ABV (78 proof), this 4-ounce bottle delivers a rich, gingerbread-scented profile built on cinnamon, cardamom, anise, and cloves. The extended maceration time draws out layered complexity that separates it from mass-produced aromatic bitters, making it a bartender favorite for elevating classic cocktail recipes.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Warm gingerbread spice leads into distinct cinnamon bark, followed by cardamom pods and a whisper of anise. The nose is inviting and layered, revealing dried berry nuances beneath the dominant baking-spice character.

Taste: The entry is bitter and tangy, immediately asserting the aromatic backbone. Mid-palate, cinnamon shines with clarity while clove and cardamom build complexity. At its peak, dried berry notes provide a fruity lift that keeps the profile from becoming one-dimensional.

Finish: Long and textured, with a cocoa-infused trail that lingers well after each dash. The bittersweet conclusion carries fading echoes of warm spice and dark fruit.

How to Drink Berg & Hauck's Old Time Aromatic Bitters:

A few dashes transform any spirit-forward cocktail. Use it in an Old Fashioned, where its cinnamon clarity and cocoa finish complement bourbon or rye whiskey beautifully. It excels in a Manhattan, adding gingerbread warmth that rounds out sweet vermouth. Try it in a Champagne Cocktail—a sugar cube soaked with these bitters and topped with sparkling wine showcases its fruity, spiced aromatics without heaviness.

Best For:

  • Home cocktail enthusiasts building a premium bitters collection
  • Upgrading classic whiskey cocktails like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan
  • Gifting to the amateur or professional bartender in your life
  • Exploring craft bitters beyond mainstream options

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does Berg & Hauck's Old Time Aromatic Bitters taste like? It is bitter and tangy with prominent cinnamon, cardamom, anise, and clove flavors, finishing with a long cocoa-infused trail. Dried berry notes add a fruity dimension that keeps the profile versatile and refreshing.

How does Berg & Hauck's Old Time Aromatic Bitters compare to Angostura Aromatic Bitters? Berg & Hauck's is generally considered a sweeter, more approachable take on the aromatic bitters style that Angostura defined—Drinkhacker described it as exactly that, awarding it an A- rating. The extra-slow maceration and all-natural ingredient sourcing give it a more layered spice character and a longer, cocoa-tinged finish than Angostura's sharper, more medicinal bite.

Where is Berg & Hauck's Old Time Aromatic Bitters made? It is produced by Bitter Truth GmbH in Pullach, Bavaria, Germany. The bitters are made by macerating 100% natural roots, seeds, barks, fruits, herbs, and plants in an alcohol base using an extended slow-maceration process.

What foods pair well with Berg & Hauck's Old Time Aromatic Bitters? Try a few dashes in sauces for braised short ribs, drizzle over vanilla ice cream, add to dark chocolate truffles, stir into apple cider for a spiced fall drink, or incorporate into a glaze for roasted pork loin.

Why Buy Berg & Hauck's?

Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck founded The Bitter Truth to revive forgotten bitters styles using historically informed recipes and superior sourcing from around the world. Their Old Time Aromatic Bitters earned an A- from Drinkhacker, which praised its approachable sweetness and aromatic depth. Every ingredient is 100% natural, and the extra-slow maceration process ensures a complexity that shortcuts cannot replicate. At 78 proof, the alcohol base carries flavors efficiently into cocktails, meaning a little goes a long way from this 4-ounce bottle.

Cane Corso approved
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
I have two Cane Corsos, One is 80 pounds the other is 120 pounds. They can seriously destroy some toys very easily. These chewies have actually lasted for over six months at this point, which is pretty much miraculous. I bought them some more just so I always had plenty of them laying around as this discourages them from getting into trouble, chewing things they shouldn’t be chewing. They walk around with these and their mouths all the time and even after all these months, the squeakers still work. These are really high-quality and if you have a dog that just destroys toy toy, I highly recommend these. Even though they’ve had these for months, they go back to them to chew on and play with , it’s also really funny because they walk around with one and hanging out of their mouth and it looks like they’ve got a stogie hanging out of their mouth. If these toys can keep the interest and survive being mauled by these two giant Destructo mutts, then they must be really, really tough. I highly recommend these for super chewers. These even a hold up to having one dog, grab each end and then play tug-of-war with it. These guys can Easily go through A cow huff every day, but these toys are still going strong

Not a chew toy
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
This is not for a voracious chewer...not durable. My dog destroyed in a matter of minutes, so the cost was high compared to the time it lasted. Maybe my expectation was too high but was disappointed in this product.

Durable, Flavorful, Chew Toy
Size: Medium & Large, Color: Red Scorpion
This bacon flavored scorpion shaped dog toy has been a huge hit with my Labrador. The material feels extremely durable and appears to be made from a hard nylon that can stand up to serious chewing. At first, I was skeptical about the bacon scent because I couldn’t smell anything when I opened the package. The moment my dog started chewing on it, though, the bacon scent became much more noticeable. Anyone else who doesn’t smell it immediately shouldn’t worry because it definitely seems to activate once the toy gets some use. My dog is an enthusiastic chewer and has not been able to destroy this toy. Even better, I haven’t seen any meaningful signs of wear, gouging, or damage despite repeated chewing sessions. That level of durability is exactly what I was hoping for. The design also includes areas where treats can be added for extra enrichment, which adds even more value. Most importantly, it has seemed very safe during use, and I haven’t had to worry about pieces breaking off. Overall, this toy has been durable, engaging, and well worth it. My dog loves it, and I love having a chew toy that can actually survive more than a few days.

Built Tough Enough to Handle Serious Chewers
Size: Medium & Large, Color: Red Scorpion
This toy is noticeably harder and denser than standard dog chew toys, which is the whole point. My dog went after it immediately and the nylon held up through serious chewing sessions without gouging, cracking, or pieces breaking off. For a dog that destroys softer toys in minutes, this actually lasts. Based on a few weeks of use I would expect it to hold up for a month or longer depending on the dog, which is significantly better than most toys in this price range. The peanut butter groove is the engagement feature that makes a difference. Stuffing it with peanut butter or other spreadable treats keeps a dog interested longer than just chewing on it plain. The scorpion shape (though it resembles a lobster to some eyes) gives multiple parts to chew on, so the dog can rotate between the legs and tail when one section gets boring. That variety helps extend how long the toy stays interesting. Cleanup is straightforward since it is dishwasher safe, which matters after using peanut butter or other treats in the groove. The teeth cleaning claim is harder to verify in short-term use, but as a durable boredom relief toy for aggressive chewers this performs solidly. It is the kind of toy that actually justifies the price because it does not end up in the trash after a week.
