3/15/08 - Mystery pack from D’s courtesy/shared with Naka. Pours black with amber hues, small fizzy, khaki head. Nose is sweet caramel, biscuit and chocolate, touch of roast. Surprisingly not bad. Nice caramel and chocolate flavor, a bit watery with dry, crisp finish. Not bad.

Apr 25, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a small ring of tan lacing. Aroma is of malt, chocolate, smoke, and caramel. Taste is of very lightly toasted malt, sweet chocolate, a hint of smoke, and the slightest bit of caramel. Body is very light and has decent carbonation. Mouthfeel is fizzy, but slightly watery. It’s very drinkable, but the characters are all very subdued if not nonexistent. I’m on the fence with this one.

Mar 29, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Very deep ruby pour, average frothy off-white head. Dry leafy aroma, generic roast, a hint of peat and cocoa. Tastes like a nice light mild - no alcohol, roast coffee bean and cocoa, dry bitterness to even it out. Average body, silky, somewaht still, dry roasty finish. I like it - sessionable.

Mar 14, 2009 Full brown body with a decent, actively carbonated head. Moderate dusty roast chocolate mingles with malt in the nose. Moderate roast body, with some bitter chocolate notes on the finish and a touch of burnt chocolate. Medium mouthfeel and medium malt. Brief appearance of caramel raisin at the end. Perhaps some nuttiness. A rather middle of the road dunkel.

Jan 28, 2009 Pours a very dark brown with a slight reddish tint and a big soda head that fizzes itself completely away like a cola. Big grassy dark roasted munich malt aroma. Light flavor, faint dark roast, faintly sweet toffee, hint of grass, very subtle dunkel flavor that avoids being too cloying or grassy. Palate is identical to soda, explosive fizzy carbonation, med/light bodied. Strange beer.
