drewbeerme (1895), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 6, 2008 bottle. pours ruby with off white head. aroma is a bit skunky with some sweet grains and chocolate. flavor is skunky, toasted biscuit, dark fruit and chocolate. a decent dunkel but would be even better in a brown bottle.
Ober (527), Best, Netherlands Nov 18, 2008 A clear brown colored beer with a beie head. The aroma of caramel sweet, some notes of dark fruits. The taste is bittersweet and dry. The aftertaste is also dry and little bittersweet. bhensonb (3136), Woodland, California, USA Oct 17, 2008 Bottle from Tops in Tempe, AZ. Dark brown color with a frothy tan head. Aromas of dark fruit and deeply roasted caramel. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is mild dark fruit - suggests cola (not quite Dr. Pepper). Finish is astringent, but there’s some bitter. I call it dry. RAYBOY01 (1654), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 9, 2008 Decent dark lager...touch thin and perhaps undercarbonated, but OK. Bready malting with caramel undertones...hops tending toward the earthy and underrepresented. Nothing special but nothing particularly offensive either. rederic (1507), montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 3, 2008 500ml bottle, brown color, with a eige head, toasted, caramelized malt nose, with a cookie dough note, with some fruity dried raisin, date notes, within a toffeeish aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a toasted, caramelized malt character, still has a cookie dough accent, with some raisiny and plummy fruitiness, with a hint of floral hop note, leading towards a malty, faint hop bitterness finish. BeerFanDan17 (415), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Sep 27, 2008 On draft... a dark lager with nice flavor. Chocolate and coffee, maybe caramel or toffee... good balance.
