| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 18, 2008 500ml brown bottle. Brownish red (chestnut) pour with a big bubbly, foamy tan head. Rings of lacing stick to the glass. Malty aroma with some nut, a hint of roasted malt and mocha. Flavour has some malt depth - medium roasted malt notes, some toffee-like sweetness. End has mild roast/hop bitterness. A little nutty malt aftertaste. Soft bodied with mild carbonation. Probably the best dunkel I’ve had. I will be returning to this one often. kkearn (1011), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, light chocolate and toffee. Flavor is primarily cocoa, with nuts, sweet malt, grain, some caramel, a little smoke, and rye. Creamy mouthfeel, with substantial carbonation. Very quaffable and tasty. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 24, 2007 Pours a toasty dark amber with a big tan head, thinning rapidly, probably from my eating. The nose is sweet, really really sweet. Sticky sweet malt, very heacy on caramel and toffee. A hint of chocolate-like roast. Theres some fruit too. The palate is very middling for a lager. Not refreshing and liquidy, yet not full of substance. It’s good on the carbonation front, and nice, but just not to style. The flavors are a bit better. Still very very very sweet. Big toffee, a little bit of butter, some lite chocolate and roast. The finish is creamy and smooth, the aftertaste has an aspartame like sweetness to it. Not bad, but not quite my cup of tea, this needs something more than these subtle haulertau-like hops to balance it out. malrubius (1004), Valley Stream, New York, USA
