Jan 23, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Extremely dark ruby with a smallish tightly foamy beige head. Aroma is nutty roast malt, with some molasses and sourish fruit - a bit sweet. Taste is like molasses and cola mixed - sweet, burnt and bitter. Mouthfeel is acrid, syrupy, thin and still. Not a very good dunkel. Smells okay.

Jan 18, 2006 Dark cola body, light tan creamy head. Light roasty / nutty nose with a touch of sweentess. Tastes like a roasty / nutty macro to me. A bit fizzy. Okay, but not too great.

Jan 7, 2006 Nice head on this one, good retention too. Pours a very dark reddish brown and smells a bit of hops and bit like the quantities of malt it contains. Not much bitterness in the taste, though a touch of spicyness is imparted by the hops. The aftertaste is a huge wave of burnt malts and the mouth feel of this is extremely smooth. Not overly complex, but solid.

Jan 5, 2006 Was drinking this one when I fell through the ice... didn’t spill much - and it warmed me up a bit when I finally got out. Great aroma, great dark color with a roasted malt and nutty aroma. A bit thin on the flavor front, but when you’ve fallen through the ice anything is good!

Dec 28, 2005 One of the best dark beers out of the States. A lovely creamy aroma comes off the thick head winding down into a decent, full bodied lager. I detected a hint of fruit and nuts, almost like raisins and almonds here. Very satisfying and great with a big thick burger. Pretty good price too at 6.50 a 6-pack.

Dec 23, 2005 Not a bad American dark. Goes down smooth without the typical "swallowing a loaf of bread feel" you usually get when drinking darker beers. I think they’ve figured out how to make dark beers for Americans.

Dec 15, 2005 dark with a nice head. kind of tasteless, but not that bad with chicken wings at bw’s. I too, was expecting creamyness....but it really wasn’t. Slightly roasted flavors...thats about it.
