May 5, 2004 Bottle: Aroma is very fruity. I can smell the plums. A slight coffee smell as well. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small head. Minimal lacing. Taste is weaker than expected based on smell. Malty flavor with some hints of coffee and chocolate. Aroma, appearance, and palate are all great but the flavor is a bit lacking.

May 4, 2004 Dark Red colored with chocolate and coffee flavoring. Would be a very good winter weather beer because of its toasty effect it gives you while drinking. Good Beer.

May 4, 2004 Updated: May 9, 2004Yowza. Tried this side-by-side with a brown ale and the profile similarities were striking. This was the better of the two, with a deeper more rounded palette of flavors. The malt was overstated in a strong tea/weak coffee beginning, leading to a chestnut-like nutty sweetness in the middle that followed to a clear crystal malt finish. This was, for my taste, too sweet and almost chocolately. I would have preferred a drier, more toasted flavor. But this was still pretty good. Also, silky smooth mouthfeel. THANK YOU to WUNDERBIER for the cool trade!

Apr 19, 2004 Beautiful coffee-red color with invitingly poofy toffee-colored head. Nice roasted and sweet barley aroma. Excellent rounded flavor of light smokiness, a hint of coffee, and roasted goodness. This rocks.

Apr 16, 2004 Dark brown with a initially thick and rocky brown head. Smoked malt aroma with a touch of chocolate. Taste is semi-sweet chocolate, light coffee, roasted malt. Somewhat sticky finish, but clean, nonetheless. Just a step below what I would consider heavily carbonated. It's not gonna blow your socks off compared to a lot of beers, but as far as dunkels go... it's top notch. Nice brew.
