| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2007 12 ounce bottle from a mixed 8 pack that was purchased at Nugget in Woodland, CA. Quite a bit of roastiness present with some espresso coffee notes as well. There is a bit of an acetic aroma, too. Mahogany/cola colored body with a smallish light tan head. Start has some of the metallic lager-like flavors present, which gives way to a nice, mildly sweet maltiness in the middle. Roasted notes and some light coffee make an appearance. A light, estery finish with a kiss of hops seals the deal. Pretty drinkable stuff. SSSteve (2105), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 29, 2007 This is a decent dunkel. I always think a dunkel that can be confused with a porter is a good dunkel. Aroma was so so. Dark malt mostly. Pour was good. Dark brown with a little off white ring for a head. Taste was roasty and nice. Some coffee and dark malt with a toastiness. Not bad. bhensonb (4387), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2007 Nice aroma of dark malt with hop. A mahogany color with a white head that quickly left. Medium body with creamy/fizzy carbonation. Flavor is slightly sour, with strongly roasted malt and some coffee. Something of a noble/hallertau hop presence. The finish is sweet malt, and the bitter is not fully balancing that. Still it is quite nice, and not that far off a porter in its way. frankenstein (64), Livermore, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2007 Aroma is a leathery/toasted malt smell. Has a nice deep, dark amber color to it with a decent disapating white head. Taste a little better than I anticipated, nice roasted coffee flavor with a touch of hops at the finish.
