Feb 12, 2003 Updated: Feb 26, 2007Rerate 2/26/07: Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a small-bubbled froth of off-white head that leaves some clingly lacing behind as it subsides. Aroma of sweet earthy dark caramel and some nutty character. Body starts with average thickness along with some sweet dark German malts and a touch of noble bittering hops. Fairly true to style, just a touch too bland.
Original rating 2/12/03: Got this for a dollar out of a shopping cart at Sam’s in Chicago. Quite unimpressive, but I didn’t expect much. Stale caramel malty aroma and flavor combined with an almost rotten hoppiness, make this not very enjoyable. Still goes down smooth, but could be a whole lot better than it is. Perhaps my sample had seen better days.

Sep 18, 2004 Updated: Aug 18, 2005This is the one to drink when eating sauer bratten with potato pancakes at The Berghoff in downtown Chicago. Granted, when compared to other brews in this class, it falls short. It has a deep brown color with a mild, roasty aroma... but little lasting head. It’s got a fairly smooth, caramelly-chocolate flavor... but seems somewhat watered down. Still, it goes great with a traditional German meal. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.berghoff.com/> The Berghoff, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>
