larsga (2937), Oslo, Norway Sep 16, 2005 Big tan, creamy head over beautifully dark red/purple body. Aroma of very sweet malts, with notes of syrup and hay. Nice. The taste is again very sweet and malty, but is soon dominated by a smoky hay-like flavour, which lingers and fades. Subtle, yet complex, and very
interesting. An excellent lager!
(0.5l bottle in glass.) snowtiger (106), Brighton, Colorado, USA Sep 13, 2005 The color is a very clear red/mohogany with a big off-white head. The aroma is dominated my malt, with toffee and roasty overtones. The tatse is similar, but has some chocolate a fruity tones as well. It still finsihes relatively dry with some nuttiness and bitterness in the aftertaste. delmecum (87), Western Illinois, Illinois, USA Sep 12, 2005 A better Dunkel than any of the other I have tried. Malty with coffe overtones. I guess I’m just not a Dunkel kind of beer taster. They don’t make me want to finish the glass. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Sep 9, 2005 Pours ruby red with a generous off tan head that laces the glass nicely throughout the sampling. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, and pepper radiate from this one initially. As the beer settles, some nice mellow clove like qualities emerge. Taste is of roses, cherries, and some tangy oranges. As the beer warms up, some nice chocolatey nutty notes begin to emerge. Finish is grassey and a bit bitter but not overwhelming. Full tingy mouthfeel. porterdude (170), Bellingham, Washington, USA Sep 8, 2005 Bottle. pours a clean, deep brown color. Smells of caramel malts. Real clean mouthfeel, lots of malty flavors and hints of chocolate and fruit. A bit nutty. lamas (709), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA Sep 5, 2005 500mL bottle. Label is slightly different than that in the picture. A clear ruby pour with a smallish, bubbly tan head. Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, grapes and soy sauce. Medium body. Lots of malts in the taste. Hints of chocolate and coffee. A little bit of grapes and nuts too. A dry, coffee-esque bitter finish. ToXBoy (9), New Jersey, USA does not count Aug 25, 2005 Poured a beautiful brown, No real head to speak of but lacing lasted. Malty slightest bit of smoke. Smooth malty taste sweet with a little to much fizz. But most enjoyable will try again. CamdenD (606), Madrid, Spain Aug 16, 2005 Very beautiful beer. Full and round and just nice. Long lingering aftertaste of almonds and toffee. Enjoyable and drinkable.
