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.

Excellent
Color: Tan
The only problem I have is that it comes apart a little too easily. My cat is the most finicky thing in the world, but she loves this as much as she can. She's not really one for toys. This, a scratch post, and a cardboard scratcher are her only toys she favors. I almost died of shock when she used this the first time😅

Tighten the compression nut
Color: Tan, Color: Tan
My cat loved this groomer right out of the box! She was so aggressive, though, that the brush kept coming out of the base. When my husband got home from work, I asked if he could put some kind of glue in it. Two minutes later, he had it fixed. He says this is a compression nut that you tighten with your fingers (a wrench would probably break it) on to the metal ends of the brush. The look on his face said what he didn't dare say out loud. In my defense, there were no instructions included.

Product seems fine. My cats won't use.
Color: Tan
My cats won't use this or go anywhere near it. I am considering taking the brush part off the base and trying to attach it to some furniture they constantly rub against. The arch has to be assembled, which was super easy. The brush is sturdy and the base holds it well. I am keeping it in hopes of finding some way to teach my cats how great it could feel. The 3 stars rating is strictly because my cats won't use the product, so that lowers it's value for me.

Broken right away … nonfunctional
Color: Tan
Hi, all, I bought this item back in 2023. The idea is great, as we all know cats love to rub against scratchy things. The first thing that I’ve noticed is that the bristles were too soft. The devil is in the details, as they say and the execution of this piece needs to be addressed. My cats broke it in 1 day; the base of the wire was torn out of platform. I should have returned it right away, but I thought that I can fix it by glueing back together. Two years and multiple attempts after, it is nonfunctional. In its current disposable state, the price should be around 6-7 $. Connection of wire to the base needs to be reinforced by the manufacturer to make a good product!
