| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 24, 2009 Updated: Jul 27, 2009Bought in Germany, apparently no artificial sweeteners in this version? A dark brown colour with a stable off-white head. Fine roasted malt, nougat aroma. The flavour gives a dark chocolate and nutty impression. This leaves a rather unpleasant "sticky" aftertaste, although it’s fairly dry. Unfortunately watery and light-flavoured. GranvilleTim (482), Granville, Illinois, USA

Crisp flavor-little sweetness, somewhat dry, roasted malt flavor at the end. I did not care to read that artificial sweetners were part of the ingrediants. Lacing occured. alexanderj (2250), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 16, 2009 Bottle; poured a dark brown color with a light brown head. Lively pour from the bottle; a nice pop when the cap was opened. Aroma of roasted malt, almost smoky, with a bit of chalk, coffee and cocoa. Enjoyable aroma. Flavor was not quite as good; pretty minerally, metallic and watery. Some cocoa, roasted malt and chalk. Easy to drink, but almost too watery. rosenbergh (894), Helsinki, Finland
