Mar 1, 2009 Bottle at the Fourth Butters’ Cellar Clearance Event. Pours a clear amber brown with no real head at all. Nose is malty with a twinge of sour. Flavor certainly has a sour cherry note. possible infection? Still not awful, but something might be off here.

Feb 18, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a red brown with only a ring of white cream. Aroma is kinda sour and malty. Flavor is similar with a solid malt backbone and sour highlights. Interesting but not too much to bring me back.

Feb 16, 2009 Bottle: Brown pour with a ruby hue and a creamy tan head that lasts. The aroma is sweet malts- lots of dark caramel and light chocolate, quite fresh smelling. Creamy feel with a nice malt character encompassing a soft sweetness and toasted character. Dark caramel, later gritty cocoa toasted notes and perhaps a hint of smoke. Well balanced and tasty. A well done German style dark lager.

Feb 2, 2009 Appearance: Pours a hazy, walnut brown body with a thin, wispy, white head.
Smell: Aroma smelling of underperforming dark, nutty malts, light raisin fruitiness, and a pinch of hot chocolate mix.
Taste: Mild maltiness displays an overall nuttiness and flavor of clearance aisle cocoa powder. Lightly sweet. Minor apple and raisin fruitiness. Faintly floral hops and bitterness. Though it was always light, the vague, unsweetened chocolate flavor is what you’re left with on the drying, crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium, fine carbonation.
Drinkability: Take it or leave it. I was hoping for more toasted bread qualities, but it kept giving me nuts! It’s shrug-inducingly acceptable, but when shopping for a dunkel, I prefer Ayinger’s Altbairisch Dunkel. That’s just me though!

Jan 31, 2009 Smells of dark roasted coffee malts and faint floral hops. Taste is similar to smell, well-balanced coffee malts with a pleasant hop back. Very nice dark lager.
