Aug 5, 2003 Red-amber color, off-white head, and lively carbonation. Toasty malted candy aroma and a hint of sweet yams. Wheaty malt and plum fruit flavors. Some residual sweetness. Palate is somewhat fizzy but smooth. A solid beer but lacking in depth.

Jul 3, 2005 Vrey attractive glassy red amber color with a thich foam head. The aroma is strong of malt sweet characters, some fruit and alcohol. I would have expected this to be higher than 5%. There is a lot of caramel and roasted scent to this, as well as a bit of cherry. Flavor falls off a bit in my opinion. Some metallic tastes come through a heafty malt body. THe palate however is pretty enjoyable, smooth all around. A good malt and fruit blend makes for one tastey beer.

Dec 21, 2002 Not outstanding, less flavorful than an excellent dunkel should be. Subtle. Not overpowering in the slightest.

Jul 1, 2003 Aroma of malt and grains, slight floral hops and grapefruit. Banana and clove with raisin smells with a nice dose of yeast. Average fizzy beige head that vanishes after a few minutes. Clear carmel red color. Acidic and sour flavors at first followed by a short acidic finish. Easy on the palate and semi watery but easy to drink. Soft carbonation with a slightly astringent finish. Overall a very straight forward dunkel with nice complexities. Refreshing and easy to drink even with the interesting aroma.

Feb 1, 2004 Brownish pour with a foamy white head. Some lacing. Roast malts, some caramel, like the description says, just a hint of plum hiding about in there. Malt stands out the most in the flavors, followed by a mellow blend of bitter hops, and a bit of the coffee-ish mentioned. The caramel is there, but not in any significant amounts. Full bodied, malty palate, finishing with a hoppy bitterness. Good dunkel.

Jan 17, 2003 Like light dopplebock. Nice aroma. Sweeter than Kostritzer. Earthy and malty. Might even be good on a hot summer day. Smells and starts like a dopple bock but finishes like a pale ale. Very good but not great. Has an identity crisis.

Dec 8, 2006 This was very good. Light maltly aroma that reminded me of a Vienna. Black and a small head; nothing remarkable about the appearance. Flavor was a pleasant surprise, it had bitter malt and more smoke than I have ever picked up in this style, so much so it might fairly be called a smoked beer. Looking at the score I shouldn’t have been expecting anything unpleasant, but this greatly exceeded my expectations.

Jun 9, 2004 Has a quite strong brown sugar flavor that is not too sweet. Hint of wheat in the flavor as well.
