| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Draft at Chuckanut Brewery. Color true to style with that unique black semi-transparent hue that builds hope that this is something cleaner and smoother than a stout. And, not to be disappointed, because these boys know how to craft lagers like nobody else in this corner of the world. Clean, crisp, with finely balanced touch of dark roast on top of the rich continental malt base. Straight-forward, no gimmicks, very satisfying. humulushound (135), British Columbia, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Deep, clear brown-black schwarz. Roasty, toasty, nutty nose. Again with the fine bubbles. Flavor is cola and earthy malt, hazelnuts and mild coffee finish. Medium body and velvet mouthfeel. Very good but very subtle. This brewery really stays true to the restrained but crisp and smooth German roots of its beers. after4ever (2803), Brier, Washington, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 10, 2009 Wow another fine offering from these guys. Pours dark brown with a nice fluffy head. THe aroma is of roasted malt with some underlying dark sweetness and some grassy earthy hops. THe flavor is very consistent with the nose as the roast and mild dark sweetness work with the grass and earthy bitterness to create a fine quaffable beer. The finish is crisp and it is incredibly smooth and easy to drink. BillKismet (1947), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 19, 2008 Deep chestnut browth with this puddle of creamed head. Medium coffee roasted aroma with some coffee bean bitterness. Medium to light-bodied. Mildly malty with some bitter coffee roast and a dank, beery finish. Coffee ground bite finish. Ok.
