Jul 14, 2008 Six pack from the grocery store, I was surprised to discover that this is a dunkel and fairly good one at that. Chestnut in color with a small collapsing khaki head and spotty lacing. Faint aroma of roasted, earthy malts and green, mild noble hops. Bittersweet on the taste buds and lightly filling. Drinks easily, but gets much fuller and creamier as it warms. Nutty and malty with a good sweet aspect. Hops aren’t very noticeable but they add a solid balance. Smoked, peaty aftertaste that is nice. A good dunkel that keeps it’s lager characteristics while showing some depth in the flavor department.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle from Ledgers in Berkeley, CA. LTD 01 had a lighter, crisper flavor than 02. The problem was, there wasn’t a lot to it. This brew was excellently smooth and tasted of Motts apple juice. Very unlike any Dunkle I’ve had.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle from Ledgers in Berkeley, CA. Poured a nice copper color and smelled of carmel, apples and spices. This was a shared bottle with Timfoolery and we both noted that the taste of apples was present. A good, very drinkable beer.

Jun 19, 2008 2008-06-24. Dark amber body, with a small beige head. Sweetish aroma, modest touches of caramel and floral hops. (6+) Similar flavour has a sweet malty start and very light hoppy bitterness throughout. (6+) Smooth, slightly fuller than average palate. Decent, quaffable, but a touch boring. Bottle from Mabel’s Seattle trip.
Headbanger (921), Aurora, Illinois, USA
Jun 15, 2008 12oz bottle(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-A medium amber body with a small ring for a head. Aroma of malt, caramel, . Taste of roasted malt, caramel, and a bit of dryness on the back end of this light to medium bodied brew. I was expecting more from a LTD edition Lager than just this but it was still rather tasty. Nothing spectacular.
