| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 20, 2006 Dark, meaty brown head, smells like a whole lot of dark malts. Flavor is chocolate and caramel that’s well balanced by the hops. not the cleanest finish, but everything else about this beer is excellent. jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 18, 2006 From a 12 oz. twist cap brown bottle with no bottled/freshness date.
Poured a red hued brown with a foamy beige head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing, fair amount of sticking.
Aromas of fruity esters, caramel, cocoa powder, floral and subtle spicy hops.
Moderate carbonation, a dry, smooth light bodied mouthfeel.
Fruity, plum-like, and toasted grains with lightly roasted malts, cocoa with just a touch of caramel, a mild earthy, spicy hoppiness and a dry cooca finish with hints of coffee.
Another excellent German style lager from Capital, one of my favorite American breweries.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 12, 2006 Dark brownish copper body. Clear. Lingering creamy off-white head.
Sweet, lightly roasted malt aroma with a hint of hop that has a dark breadiness to it. Another hint of chocolate too. Capital-esque.
Flavor has light roasted malt, slight slight chocolate and hop.
A little fizzy for me.
Good average drink.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 7, 2006 I had a bottle of this a while ago and it was terriffic. Bought a sixer and this first bottle seems a little off. Aroma had a definite vegetal DMS aroma, taste was just sweet carmelly ,didn’t have that dark Munich malt character of the first one. Tasted better thaen it smelled ,but still a little disappointing
