Jan 20, 2007 From a twist off 12 oz. bottle with no freshness date.
Poured a reddish hued brown with a small foamy off-white head that quickly settled into a fine lacing.
Aromas of roasted malts, cocoa, toffee with hints of roasted nuts, a plum-like fruitiness and sort of a earthy floral.
Moderate carbonation and a softly crisp, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel.
Tastes of powder cocoa, caramel malts, nutty, a subtle fruitiness, a light earthiness, the hops are pretty restrained, and a nutty, malty finish.
Easy drinkability, if not a little watery, pretty average overall.

Dec 8, 2006 Dark copper clear body with a soapy off-white / light tan head.
Aroma is a little nutty/figgy and a little brown sugar. Pleasant.
Taste is light and balanced too.

Nov 11, 2006 12 oz. bottle, trade-out at the Flossmoor RB Chicago gathering. Popping the cap greets me with a nice thick caramelly malt smell. Pours a roast-turkey brown with a thin scrum of a head. Malts come through in the taste as well. A nice caramel roast with a bit of chocolate and a hint of peat like in <a href="http://ratebeer.com/Beer/schell-schmalt Alt.. Just enough hop for balance. Nice beer all around.

Oct 12, 2006 This poured a deep chestnut body with slight red highlights and a slender pale beige head. It smells of lightly roasted malts, caramel, and a mild nutty bitterness. Nice carbonation. The flavor has peppered toast, a muted caramel sweetness, hints of chocolate, and a modest earthy bitterness. It finishes on a fairly sweet note and a modest roasted aftertaste. Okay. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Peoria, IL<font size=-1>

Aug 30, 2006 Pours dark brown with a reddish tint adn moderate sized tan head. Aroma has caramel malt and some coffee notes - lots of roastiness. Medium bodied with quite a bit of carbonation. Taste has dark roasted malt with bits of chocolate and coffee - unfortunately it was quite watery that hurt all of the flavors. The finish has some stale tastes coming through. Okay at best.

Mar 27, 2005 Dark Cola color pour, little head and some lacing. Nice roasted flavor to the malt without being overpowering. The aftertaste is a bit on the hoppy side, but fairly decent all around
