Jan 31, 2009 Sample at the tasting at From the Vine on 1.30.09. Pours a clear dark brown without much head. Roasty aroma with a touch of coffee. Malty and sweet vanilla flavor followed by a hop and coffee finish. Simple, but well done.

Jan 30, 2009 I expected more out of a beer with this kind of history. Although it tasted pure and took me to a hostoric time in the European brewing I was suprised at how simple the flavor was. I guess that that might be its appeal though. Easy to drink and still tasty when sipped.

Jan 30, 2009 Pours a dark caramel color with a head that doesn’t stick around long. This is a gorgeous beer, although it doesnt have the body that I have come to expect from a lot of German brews. There is a nice brown sugar/carmel sweetness in this one with a touch more carbonation than most. It has a dryness/bitterness that comes mainly from the grains. Overall it is a good beer.

Jan 25, 2009 Bottle into stein. Pours a clear dark brown with some ruby showing through, nicely effervescent, with a beautiful creamy off-white head. Nose is caramel, toasty, and a nice, crisp, light fruitiness. Flavor is the same - a toasty caramel sweetness with a hint of nuttiness, bit of cocoa, and some apple coming through too. Finish is long, sweet, a bit nutty. Medium carbonation, light-medium body, maybe a bit watery towards the finish. Really wonderful beer overall.

Jan 21, 2009 Bottle: Poured a clear dark brown/burgundy color dunkel with a nice light brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some caramel and light molasses is enjoyable. Taste is also a nice mix between some medium sweet malt with some nice notes of caramel malt and some very subtle molasses and a light dry roasted finish. Average body with good carbonation. Very well done but I am not sure this is a style that I really dig.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours an off-white head with a clear amber color. Smells of biscuits and apples. Tastes of caramel, biscuit, and apple. Has a tinny finish. Whole experience reminds me caramel popcorn.
