Dark brown color, not much head, some small foam. Caramelly, nutty aroma. Very sweet, caramelly, some grassy notes too. Not very lagerish, more like an ale. oh6gdx (9126), Vasa, Finland

Aroma is burnt sugar, some wood, mild syrup as well as some slight chocolaty notes. Flavour is wood, some hops, mild sugar and some slight roasted notes. A bit to sweet for my likes. mjg74 (2001), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 9, 2009 Bomber. Deep ruby in color. Strong roasty aroma. Quite sweet and chocolaty. Smooth and malty up front. Roasted maltiness and some chocolate. A little more prickly than I would have like. Pretty enjoyable all the same. harbuck76 (134), El Cajon, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 27, 2009 22 oz bomber. Pours a Dark brown with medium beige head that quickly fades. Aroma- roasted malt,coffee almost like a stout. Tasted like a stout, but thin and watery. Maybe a cross between a stout and schwartzbier. Finishes dry with a slight citrus kick. Not bad worth a try and at 2.99 its not gonna kill you. JohnnyJ (1356), Carlsbad, California, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 25, 2009 Bottle. Picture sent in to be uploaded. Pours with a small khaki head over a very deep brown cola body. Decent lace. Aroma of roast, caramel, grain and some faint hops. A bit metallic too. Not bad, taste of watered down mocha, hops, coffee, butterscotch, longish duration. Surprisingly good. A bit of earth too, with just a touch of metal in the finish. Thin and fizzy mouthfeel. Not horrible, I think this one might be a Schwarzbier and not a Dark Lager...
