Jul 14, 2004 A very good dunkel. Very smooth and well-balanced between the superb malt choices and the light, yet zesty, hops. I would love to try this brew with a hearty roasted turkey dinner.

Jul 8, 2004 500 ml brown European bottle. No freshness date seen, but it has a set of cryptic notches in the front label, at the bottom. Poured out a deep mahogany color, almost a dark caramel of sorts. Aromas are of coffee, toffee, slightly roasted malts, yeast, and caramel. It has a decent, but short lived tan colored head to it. It slid back to a generous lacing down the sides of my wheat beer glass. Tastes are of roasted malts, espresso notes, sweet caramel, and some English toffee. Medium mouthfeel coats the tongue well, but it’s not sweet or cloying. Some alcohol notes in the middle, leading me to believe it’s in the 6% ABV range. Dry finish to this beer, with little or no hops presence. Slightly bitter from the malts, not the hops. A really well made dunkel, in my opinion.

Jul 3, 2004 Updated: Apr 10, 2005Pours a cloudy dark brown color, slightly reddish with an ivory head. Aroma had a faint spice to it with a malty character as the focus. Taste started sweet and malty with almost a mollasses teaser near the front and ended with a strong bitterness. There was a slight fruitiness to the taste and the spice came through only faintly.

Jun 28, 2004 Bottle. I really think that this is supposed to
be an altbier. Medium off-white head. Brown,
slightly red see through color. Aroma is slightly
malty--little nutty even. Flavor is light roasty, light
in palate, crisp, and tasty. Has a decent bitter finish,
and a dry mouth feel. Better than I expected.

Jun 19, 2004 pour was dark brown with a solid beige head that was slow to disapate. When it did finaly leave it left thick chunks of lace in its wake.
aroma was toasty, roasty, malty
Medium in body, with some nice burnt coffee flavors, but a kind of sharp edge.
like the carbonation was made of ground up glass.
some dark dried fruit was noted in the finish (raisin, prune?) along with some weak coffee, maybe some caramelized sugar.

Jun 11, 2004 Dark and rich colored...but with a thin body. Roasted flavor. Easy finish and easy to drink.

Jun 10, 2004 Bottle. Dark brown beer with a big beige head. Sweet malt aroma with some earthy spiciness. Slight roastiness in flavor a sweet caramel backing and a not-quite-citrus flavor in the background. Clean and crisp. Easy to drink.
