| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 7, 2003 Not too bad. Dark brown color, with little head. A bit watery taste, and a bit bitter near the end. Really, not nothing all that specail. kujo9 (1077), North Ridgeville, Ohio, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Apr 12, 2003 Off white head lingers a little then collapses rapidly from large bubbles. Amber body is brialliantly clear. Aaahhhh that green bottle! Lightstruck is in the air, although not as bad as some. There is a little grainy malt, roast malt, as well as a some caramel and a little bit of corn(DMS). That's a first, caramel corn beer. Anyway, flavor starts out bitter and roasty, not stout like, but it could be more restrained for a Dunkel. Yes, there is that familiar light struck taste, again, not as heavy as it could be, but it's there. Grainy malty flavor and a dry, very bitter astringent finish. There is absolutely no creaminess or smoothness to this beer, it's dry, astringent, and thin for a dunkel. Carbonation is on the high side, even for a lager and truly nothing very appealing...just my opinion. Deimos (78), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 5, 2003 Clear and dark, but not opaque. Bit of a skunky odor (green bottle). Small head, not long lasting.
Not a lot of flavor, but not bad. Not a bad beer, but not good either. Hopistotle420 (1178), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 24, 2003 Draught: Deep dark brown, yet clear. Nose of lightly toasted malt. Sticky light tan head. Thin, and not much going on. Kinda skunky, metallic, roasted grain, finishing sweet with a light hint of bitterness. Im not terribly impressed, but its definately drinkable. Hey it was free, what can I say. HAHA PorterPounder (3138), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 9, 2003 Bit of a skunky aroma. Decent dark copper color, medium sized head - no lacing. Thin, watery. No real distinctive flavor excepty for a slight malty aftertaste. Tastes like an ordinary lager. redlem (1155), Illinois, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 2, 2003 Not much to say. A dark beer from Germany. Dark without being opaque. Off white head. Slightly roasted lager. Decent. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 25, 2002 A dry, slightly roasty ale. Really nice and something I could enjoy again. Surprised I hadn’t had it until now, and then I noticed only three others have had it, so it’s obviously much rarer than the other DAB. urbnhautebourg (974), Annapolis, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 18, 2002 A soft dunkel with soft dark malts and no graininess. Not terribly complex, but quite drinkable.
