| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 23, 2008 not like a lager at all. very dark, amber color with a malt nose surprisingly hoppy with a malt palate. i think it was very well balanced stefanje (946), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 22, 2008 12 oz bottle from Trader Joe’s. Pours a copper color with a small off-white head. The aroma had sweet malts, toffee, some white pepper and cashews. The flavor was a bit on the sweet side with caramel, biscuit and sweet malts. The mouthfeel was bit weak and thin. The finish was medium in duration and dry. Overall: A sessionable beer, but not a great one, and not a dunkel. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2008 This turned out to be alright, and I had not a single idea of what to expect going into this one. Sometimes FS’ beers are all over the board stylistically. Nutty nose, with hints of fruit and spice, some grassy hops, and a touch of roasted caramel. Nothing spectacular as far as being complex, but it is simple and really nice to drink, an easy presence on the palate. Nice BMan1113VR (2894), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | May 11, 2008 Pours with a small, off-white head covering a clear, lightish brown body. Suprisingly nice aroma of fruit, spices, maybe some light pineapple and candied yam esters; its very different. Body is a bit thin, but taste is good with fruity and wheaty notes. Slightly nutty finish. Watery mouthfeel comes with the thin body. A better beer than I was expecting. edden (927), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | May 10, 2008 5/9/08: Bottle Medium brown-copper body. Lager-like nose. Flavor of hay and honey with a small wheat bite toward the finish. Nephilium (554), Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2008 Slightly sweet aroma, hints of bread and dark fruits. Pours a dark reddish-amber, with a dusting of off-white head. Flavor has hints of caramel and roasted notes, with just a touch of hop presence. Nothing over the top, just well balanced. jgb9348 (2509), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | May 7, 2008 Deep ruby tinted strong golden/amber coloured body with a short tan head. Aroma of malt, a bit of hops, metal, funk and some cardboard - not very pleasant. Light-bodied; Sharp metallic tastes with a strong malt backbone and very minimal other tastes coming through. Aftertaste shows some raisins and pit fruits in the taste, but nothing too terribly pleasant - but still better than the normal taste! Overall, a pretty bad offering, all things considered. I couldn’t tell this was supposed to be a dunkel, it just didn’t taste good. I’m happy to try this, but I wasn’t happy with the quality of this one. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Goebel Liquor in Wichita, Kansas on 03-May-2008. JHunter (246), British Columbia, Canada
