Dark, clear, reddish brown (almost garnet); initially a large, frothy, eggshell to tan head that becomes a ring but can be easily resurrected by swirling. Light aroma; bready malt with some nuttiness and not much else, sadly. Flavor fairly light, also; similar to aroma with the addition of some caramel; finish is barely bitter at all. Frothy mouthfeel; lightly sticky. Overall, nice appearance and mouthfeel, but the flavor and particularly the aroma are bland.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle best i’ve had from this company. Pours a light brown body with some malty caramel aromas. A little like a bock but more like a pils. Not bad for shop rite.

Jun 19, 2008 Draught at Schnitzelhaus Tampa. Cola brown body with a smallish white head. Dissipates quickly and leaves minimal lacing. Nose of nutty bread, caramel, molasses, chocolate and malt. Flavor profile carries over all of that, with the focus on the malts and nutty notes. Pretty damn tasty beer, actually, and quite a bit underrated in my books. Medium bodied, could use a little more heft but probably pretty true to style. Finish is medium-long, nuts, caramel and sweet malts play out. Surprising.

Jun 13, 2008 A fairly rich aroma with a bit of molasses. Quite light and easy, but has a good sweeness in the finish, maybe a hint of chocolate. Good stuff.

Jun 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours a brown with a frothy head and aromas of sweet malt and grain dust. Flavor is toffee and sweet malt with touches of dark fruit, but sits short on complexity.
