| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 30, 2008 bottle. Clear mahogany colour, medium-sized head. Fruity nose. Malty and fruity start, solid malty middle part and a slightly dry, pleasantly hoppy-aromatic finish. FatPhil (3483), Espoo, Finland
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 14, 2008 500ml bottle (alko)
Rich red, thin head. Slightly perfumed and lagery aroma, some hops, some grains. Sweet and soft in the mouth. Plenty of sweet malts and noble hops. Malts are a little synthetic and plasticky, like a cheap German bock. Hops are a touch on the harsh side, but not quite metallic or astringent. But nearly. Too tangy to be an easy quaffer, too thin to be a sipper. Misses the mark. raymondwave (878), Finland
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 20, 2007 Bottle 0.5 l. Nose is mostly syrup and burnt sugar. Flavor doesn’t offer much more. A lot of metallic aftertaste. I don’t find this very appealing and it’s a bit of a disappointment after the excellent schwarzbier. omhper (12298), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2007 Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Dark amber. Mediium bodied with lots of caramel and balanced sweetness. Chewy toffeeish malt gives well rounded mouthfeel. Finishes carefully salty and grassy. Really well balanced. Sofajoern (146), Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 8, 2007 Amber colour with quickly diminishing head. Aroma has a strong caramel scent with a quite herblike hop note to it. Surprisingly creamy with a very good balance between hops and malts although mainly on the malty side. Quite sharp finish.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Cask @ JDW, have had this rate in my phone for ages, just couldn’t find the beer as it was labeled Bohemian Granat there. Deep amber with a foamy off white head. Nose of hops, malt and caramel. Hoppy and bittersweet with a sort of slimey syrupy mouthfeel.
