Pours a very dark brown with a lite brown/white forming head. Looks creamy at first but not so smooth. Leaves a bit of a bitter taste to the mouth so I’m not all that on the palate. Good overall for me but im not the dunkel type.

(bottle - 12 oz) Ruby red pour with a very puffy and lasting 1/4 inch tan head. Aroma is light and chocolaty with a very pronounced maltiness. Flavor is rather roasty with some hints of malt, caramel, toffee, and very light coffee. Thin bodied but pretty tasty.

Poured a dark brown with a tan head and slight lacing. Chocolaty and malty aroma with a taste to match. Nice roasty flavor with a very slight hop finish. Not bad.

A decent beer but it definitely tastes like an imitation of the original. A nice lager to drink though.

12 oz bottle, part of the Harpoon Winter Twelve Pack. Average beer, drinks easy with a bit of roasted taste, but nothing more to it than that. Has a lot of work to do to be a good beer.
