Aurelius (2517), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 18, 2008 Updated: Sep 22, 2008Very dark porter brown, thin head. Dry, dark malt aroma -- like a toasty brown ale or porter. Medium tanginess, some cola, very light nutty/seedy quality that isn’t rightly a ’sweetness’. Crisp, tangy finish. Only flaw was a little metal on the lips. Medium to medium light body. Very nice. Moderate roast without backlash aftertaste. dwyerpg (2143), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Nov 7, 2005 A special seasonal just newly offered from elevator, this seems to have a little nut flavoring plus the sweetness of a dunkel. A drinkable dark lager for sure. Dogbrick (2350), Columbus, Ohio, USA Nov 30, 2007 On draught at the brewpub. Pours a mostly clear dark brown color with a medium and fluffy beige head that has decent retention. Patchy lacing. Aroma of roasted nuts and malt, with hints of hops. Medium, smooth body with a nice roasted character. Notes of malt, chocolate and nuts along with a decent amount of hops. The finish is dry and roasty with a lingering mild hoppiness. Pretty good all around. BabyJoe692 (109), Pickerington, Ohio, USA Dec 9, 2007 Draft. Amber/brown in color. Slight malty aroma. Sweet malty balanced flavor. Rogueone (410), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA May 1, 2008 Sampler @ Brewpub. Wow, this is pretty full-bodied for a lager. Pours medium orange-amber with a thin white head. Smells of toasted carmel malt, a bit bready. Pretty decently balanced with a dark roasted malt, finishing with a lingering hop.
