Feb 12, 2006 Dark malt aromas at the fore, but weak, with notes of black tea and metal. Purplish amber color, small head. Under carbonated flattish palate, weak caramel malts, virtually no hops. Better than their red, but barely.

Feb 8, 2006 12 oz bottle. Looks like I poured myself a diet soda with less head. Aroma is nothing special and the flavor is a little bit of caramel and kinda smoky. Overall thin and pretty weak.

Feb 2, 2006 Served as a weak, chestnut brown with a slim head and wet lace. Nothing special in the aroma with weak malts and late aclohol. Light nuttiness in flavor but overall thin and (you guessed it) weak. Nothing adverse but nothing to get excited about. Performs as a mediocre Dunkel.

Jan 8, 2006 On tap, it’s not that bad. Nice aorma and I do like the dark brown color. Not as hoppy as I’d like but it does have apretty decent taste. No aftertaste. I’m partial to beer like this from my college days in the 1960s when we’d go to Shakey’s Pizza and drink incredible quanitites of their dark beer.

Dec 26, 2005 Deep auburn/cola color. Sweet textures. Thin body. Some hops in there. Malt, caramel flavors. Actually, I think that the elements are here for a pretty good beer, but the thin palate really holds it back from being more than it is: just a watered down beer.

Nov 15, 2005 This brew actually looks quite nice. A deep reddish brown clear body with a thick rocky khaki head that leaves lots of excellent lacing and disapates slowly. The aroma has some "manufactured" qualities. Generic lager like characteristics. Almost a generic vegetable aroma. The flavor is malty with a metallic like feel and sweetness. Plums. Not horrible. Just not what I want in a beer. The palate is weak, slick medium bodied and metallic.

Nov 10, 2005 I had this at the brewery early fall. I just found a paper with my ratings on it. This had a nice brownish head on top of a dark brown beer. Slightly thick and malty. Beer is always better at the brewery.
