| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2007 Pours a darker brown color with an off-white head. Aroma is of toffee, caramel, sweet malts, some dark fruits, and a slight hint of nuts. Flavor starts of with a slight hint of roasted malt with the dark fruits and finishes with toffee and sweet malts. Not much of a lingering flavor. Slightly watery on the finish. This brew is alright but there are plenty out there that are better. OldGrowth (1426), North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 27, 2007 Pint, 2 actually, at J-Betski’s in Raleigh. Good aroma. Malty, lite smokey. Kind of a seltzer streak in there. A yeasty doughiness too. Orangy dark brown color, good head that faded quickly, ok lacing. Nice flavor. Like aroma roasty, hint of dough, smoke, little of a rye streak. Flavor stayed constant the whole time. Lite body, lite creamy smooth mouthfeel, dry clean finish. Tasty. really hit the spot. Could of been my mood, but I enjoyed this one TaxiDriver (941), Stadland, Germany

Head-small size, very short longevity, off-white colour, virtually no lacing. Body-nearly black.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 11, 2007 Bottle, 33 cl. Deep reddish brown, medium fluffy beige head. Grainy malt aroma, slightly roasted, and some nutty hints. Medium bodied, decent carbonation, a bit watery for a dunkel. Light sweetness, moderate bitterness. Very well balanced but one-dimensional and boring. Moz (613), Gothenburg, Sweden
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 10, 2007 Bottle. Dark ruby colour with a tan head. Aroma of caramel & malt. Malty roasted flavour. Also a bit nutty. Average body. EithCubes (2151), Indiana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 1, 2007 Bottled (in green, no less) as a Schwarzbier. Same generic malt odor as the Pils, perhaps a little plummier. Touch of black malt with the grape. Pours a beautiful dark-clear ruby with a lacing, creamy tan head. Taste is dry and malty, some grape with a little ash and a moderate dose of toast. Light bitterness with not a lot of robust flavor. No points for style, but a smooth feel and medium body. Slightly burnt. Eh.
