Jul 20, 2008 On tap at Lagerhaus (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark red brown with massive foamy off-white head. Excellent head retention and glass lacing. Aroma is interesting: some vegetable notes, sweet malt, toasted nuts, bread. Flavor is sour ripe fruit, sweet malt, raisins, plums, and some caramel (as the beer warms). Light to medium body with a slightly hoppy, bitter finish.

Jul 19, 2008 Ah drink these out of a liter mug down at the black squirrel in DC. Traditional German dunkel with a great pour, head and aroma. Will be drinking many more of these in the future.

Jul 17, 2008 Poured amber/ruddy with dense white head. Aroma is of toasted malt, slightly caramel. This beer is rather thin and slightly astringent. Malt never steps up like I anticipated based on the aroma although there is a decent balance between the hops and malt. Astringency is a big drawback with this brew.

Jul 14, 2008 Had this on tap before it and was much better. Slight green bottle skunk aroma upon opening, that dissipates after a few seconds. Unfortunately, not much taste at all afterwards. Faint caramel and bread. Thin.

Jul 12, 2008 From a green bottle, which immediately causes concern - Clear reddish brown, with virtually no head. Nice earthy smell, with some dark bread and rum notes. Flavor is similiar, but mixed with some fruity notes. Surprisingly rough, bitter finish, which is welcome.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Bronze color with almost no head. Nutty, roasted malt aroma. Bitter roasted malt taste. Thin body.

Jul 4, 2008 Draught at The Belgian Bar in Rotorua (New Zealand) - a surprise ’special’. A light brown with a large foamy head that laced very well. A little metallic on the nose with a touch of chocolate. A very dry palate, with some roasted coffee flavours. A couple of late night drinks by myself on a work trip - it did the trick.

Jul 2, 2008 dark reddish, somewhat marzen-colored ale, it packs a lot of malt to it, but not much else except a bit of caramel
