| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2007 Pours brown with a small off-white head. Caramel, chocolate, and toffee aroma. Maybe a touch of roastiness. (Not sure if I actually smell it or only expect it.) There is that bit of roastiness in the flavor, definitely; it dries out the end, where it mixes very well with some faint earthy-sweet hops. Nice little dunkel, but a little too aerated. I’d let it breathe for a few. BDR (2167), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 20, 2007 Another solid Ettaler offering. Rich chocolate malt nose on the orange brown beer. Faint head. Caramel, roasted malts, biscuit and faint chocolate on the body. Rastacouere (5561), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2007 Clear copper, light fading off-white film. Clean, lightly earthy, grainy lager. Well extracted flavours from the generously nutty, crisp munichs. Gentle caramelly undertones. Absent hops, but this one remains relatively dry thanks to the excellent job done with those toasty malts. Radek Kliber (3972), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 9, 2007 Clear chestnut-amber; small, vanishing white-yellowish head. Oxydized, bready, sweet eggbread. Drier taste, with green leaves flavour, nearly grassy. Medium bodied, ends a bit light, nearly empty. Grist slickness. Following the sample, that shows some tiredness, average Dunkel.
