| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Roasted oats and barley with hints of horehound on the nose, rather like kibble. Brown with a thin cream colored head. Tastes just as expected with the balance tipped even more toward the malty side. Simple, but tastes fine. Mouthfeel is somewhat watery. thewolf (5764), Kolding, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Ambrosetti, Berlin.
Pours deep red with a brown hue. Small, fizzy, off-white head. Aroma has rye bread, caramel, some slight roasted notes, light berries. Highish, prickly carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, some liqourice as the first experience. A touch of cumin, sweet caramel, roasted malts. Long, lingering, hoppy and lightly roasted aftertaste. Good, but perhaps just a slight tad too sweet. Bierkrug (300), Idar-Oberstein, Germany

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 3, 2009 Mug served at the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle, IL. Presented with a dark, mahogany hue, with a modest, off white head that reduced to a small ring and not much lacing. With a touch of Noble hops to start, the aroma was toasty and nutty, with some notes of chocolate and caramel. The flavor added to the aroma profile some malt sweetness and a slight hop bitterness. The carbonation was soft and the body seemed a little thin, but altogether, a good, drinkable, compliment a variety of foods, brew. auderale (572), Fairchild AFB, Washington, USA
