Bu chez Mr. Pickwicks (Stowe, Vermont) en fut (20oz) le 27/9/08. Brune foncée caramel, moyen collet. Arome de malte caramelisé, avec des notes de café mocha. Goût de café un peu légé malté, un peu sec, une finission houblonneuse plaisante. Pas beaucoup de complexité, bien simple et savoureuse!

I thought this beer was okay. It’s a run of the mill dunkel. Has some nice toffee flavor with a dry, but slightly sticky palate. This beer is good, but it’s not great.

Bottle. Good for style. Pours a clear dark brown, minimal tan head. Roasted nutty flavor. Some chocolate in the aroma, but not much. Not bad, not great

Tap at Barcade: Cola looking pour, with a thin, tan ring of head. The aroma has some macro-malt character, gritty chocolate and stale coffee in the background. Fizzy feel on the palate, a bit overly carbonated. The flavor starts with cheap sweet dark malt- making it reminiscent of chocolate soda. Then the late finish gives off hints of roasted malt with mild coffee character, which "saves" the flavor. Pretty simple and lacks cohesiveness.
