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.

Is Berg & Hauck's Old Time Aromatic Bitters good for cocktails? Absolutely—it was designed specifically as a bartender-grade cocktail ingredient. Its balanced bitterness and complex spice profile make it a drop-in upgrade anywhere you would normally reach for standard aromatic bitters.

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.

Just don’t do it
Flavor Name: Original Coarse Sugar, Size: 1.86 Pound (Pack of 1)
Be aware this is like drinking dry grass and water that very quickly turns to gelatin. I can’t imagine the Navy seal that must be able to do this. You would have to be trained for torture in order to enter this stuff.. Unless you were hellbent on suffering, avoid this like the plague. Absolute waste of my money.

Great!
Color: 2-Pack White, Color: 2-Pack White
I wish I’d have taken a before photo. But imagine a bunch of spices, on a little spice shelf that makes a U formation and a bunch of spices in the middle. So many spices. So much maneuvering to find the right one. This- this is great! Organized, easy to see, reach. Neat. Excellent investment. It doesn’t even look like I have a lot in there, but I have 46 spices in there! And you’ll notice my cabinet has a lip. Easily fixed with a small piece of wood to raise the item.

Well thought out and easy to install
Color: 2-Pack Black, Color: 2-Pack Black
Definitely organizes and maximizes cabinet space for spice storage. It’s a little rickety. If you are using glass spice jars you will likely need to use the included screws into the cabinet because the double face tape it comes with might not hold up. It might work with the plastic spice containers, but even then it seems like it would not be sturdy enough to hold the weight. The instructions were clear and it installed quickly. If it lasts, it was definitely a value upgrade in my cabinet.

Don't buy the other brands
Color: 2-Pack Black
I'd give these a 10 if I could. I bought another version but returned ii because I didn't think it was very sturdy. These were only $8 more and what a difference. They are a very well made and a lot more sturdy. The extra $8 was a real bargain and well worth it.
