Mild aroma and flavor of smoked and caramel malts with an unpleasant finish. The body is light with a watery texture and moderate carbonation. MikeMac (185), Wyandotte, Michigan, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 7, 2006 On Tap at the Brewpub Pour of chill-hazed mahogany with a fringe of sienna. Head a slick of off-white. Light aroma of distant dusty malt. Flavor is surprisingly roasty. With a good backing of chocolate, toaste and rich burnt sugars. Kind of out of the dark, with such a tepid aroma. Has a finish of lingering oaken toffee sugars. Smacks of drying grassy euro hops. Lingering on the palate is toast and hazlenuts, quite strong. Palate is refreshingly dry. A little touch of copper. Well balanced and tasty to me. can8ianben (903), Pasadena, California, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 7, 2005 Pretty good, interesting depth, although it basically just felt like a pale lager with some harsher malts and darker colour. BigNasty (55), South Lyon, Michigan, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 15, 2005 Tasted as part of sampler. Tied with the pale ale as my least favorite. Color wasn’t as dark as I was expecting, but they were having problems with the tap the day I was there, so I got a sample of foam that I had to let settle somewhat before I could taste. Assertive malt flavors and hop bitterness. Goblincat (356), Westland, Michigan, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 31, 2005 Clear reddish brown with a thin off white head describes it perfectly. Weak overall. Nothing really stood out with this beer. I still have yet to try anything from the Frankenmuth brewery that impresses me. They need to be a little more bold and daring and not just come up with weak entries like this. redmosquito (172), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 15, 2004 Part of a sampler at the brewery. This is another beer I remember from before the big storm. Clear reddish brown with a thin off white head. Very little aroma at all, mild malt and faint yeast. The flavor is a little lackluster, slightly malty, not really roasted, and then a yeasty aftertaste. The body is okay. This was a bit of a disappointment, but it still is a nice beer to drink.
