Excellent taste. I was in Munich last fall and had obatzda--this recipe does it justice. I think the key is the beer you choose to use. As far as the bread goes, I simply bought some light rye at the store and it worked just fine. The only suggestion I would make is to also not forget the importance of gherkins (pickles). The combo of beer, radishes, pickles and this wonderful dip make me feel like I'm in a beer hall back in Germany. Good recipe!

My husband and I just returned from Munich and decided to host an Oktoberfest party to share our favorite foods, drinks and photos with friends and family. This recipe was NEARLY perfect. The only thing we found to be off was the amount of paprika. To get an authentic light salmon color, we found we had to add close to 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, definitely more than a pinch. Otherwise, the flavors and recipe were excellent.

I wasnt lucky enought to have this when I was in Germany, but it got great reviews at my Holiday Festival this fall. It is creamy and savory. It is great on crackers as well as bread
