Jun 26, 2007 Dark caramel malt aroma with something extra. Mahogany color with a white head that filmed almost immediately. A bit thin bodied. The carbonation is fairly strong. The flavor is caramel malt, with something toasty added, and a suggestion of tar in the finish? Not getting a great deal of hop, but there must be some or the sugars would be killers. Pretty decent, and it would be a real winter keeper, if it was a bit thicker. Seems to develop flavor nuances as the sipping continues. Maybe the rye is responsible.

Jun 11, 2007 0.5 l bottle. Pours dark reddish brown with thick beige head. Aroma is sugar, caramel, slightly sour. Flavor is sweetness, cake frosting, dried fruit and berries. A tiny bit of bitterness, as well. Good full mouthfeel. Has some baltic porter characteristics. Very sweet, but also some complexity.

Jun 9, 2007 Bottle. High fluffy off-white but lasting head. Beautiful clear and ruby body. Rye and reisin aroma with a touch of caramel. Caramel sweet and sugary rye fraisin plum lavor. Not much carbonation. Long and sweet aftertaste. Generally speaking too sweet for my taste.

May 19, 2007 Bottle. Good malt aroma, with a lot of caramel in there. Pours a deep dark amber color, with a pretty tan head. Flavor is that of fruits - in the vein of dried dates, plums, and raisins (as another user said). It’s not partcularly great, but it’s pretty decent.

May 14, 2007 Rated 2/11/06: Very average dunkel, which is fine with me. Good aroma of caramel malts, that is all I could pick up. Pours a rich amber color with a thick dissipating head that leaves no lacing. Relatively smooth mouthfeel, somewhat thin on the palate, and a good aftertaste. Flavor is solid, what your standard dark lager should be. I like this beer and the price is right so I will try to keeep a couple of these on hand.

May 2, 2007 0.5L bottle pours a nice deep amber color with tan head. Aroma of dark fruit and hints of caramel. Nice. The flavor is full with shriveled plums, dates and raisins. By midway a streak of caramel enters the picture and helps create a nice medley of flavors. The taste experience ends with more dates and raisins. Tasty brew.

Apr 21, 2007 Bottle -- Dark brown with small, frothy off-white head. Not much retention. Good lacing. Aroma is mainly malty with some sweetness. Creamy mouthfeel at first, fading to wateriness after a while. Fairly dry flavour with a little bitterness up front. Not much life or fun about this beer.
