Oct 27, 2003 50 cL bottle, goblet, 55 degrees F. Tan head is average sized, frothy, creamy and short lived. The body is amber to brown and quite murky. Cookie, caramel, mild coffee, milk chocolate malt (H); flowery hops (L); tawny port, oak, toffee, nutmeg aromas. Heavily sweet flavor becomes a moderately sweet finish with a light "iced tea" bitterness. Medium-heavy body, velvety texture, soft carbonation. Flavor falls off in the finish. The bottom line is: a touch too sweet for mee, but it has a great aroma and mouthfeel.

Oct 13, 2003 Murky brown color, fluffy tan head. Sweet earthy aroma, malty. Malty and nutty flavor, once again very earthy. Mouthfeel was comparable to raspberry iced tea: dry. Not bad, but I'd skip it over.

Oct 6, 2003 Hazy orange caramel - color and flavor. Nice dunkel - medium thick, full malt flavors, not overly sweet, a very quiet hop presence in the background. Tasty!

Jul 30, 2003 Hazy murky brown color with medium head. Heavy malt, ginger bread. Tastes a lot like Christmas -- if it could have an actual taste this would be like drinking a whole pint of Christmas. Nutty and malty with the sweetess touch of warmth.

Jul 28, 2003 Dark amber in color. Roasted chestnut aroma with notes of grassy hops. Rich and nutty with some peated scotch ale-like malts in the middle. Dry, nutty and flowery at the end, but the sweet malt taste lingers.

Jul 4, 2003 Big toffee and caramel aroma. Rich copper body, creamy tan head, nicely carbonated. Flavor is toffee, prune, caramel, and bready, with an almost toasted feel in the aftertaste. Not as malty as a good doppelbock, but with similar character. A good European session-style beer.

Jun 10, 2003 Pours a ruby copper brown with a good sized tan head. Aroma is of a standard malty German lager with some acidity. Body is bready, sweet and earthy with a dry mellow finish. This is a decent beer, but nothing spectacular. A good example of the style.
