| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 27, 2004 Pours a transparent dark ruby brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma is dominated by milk chocolate, lager yeast, and a touch of German hops. Starts with sugary caramel malty sweetness revealing a touch of lactose and chocolate toward the finish. Fairly well balanced and quite drinkable. Thanks to heemer77 for this fine Iowa brew! JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 16, 2004 Clear chestnut color with a moderate light tan head and a few small isles of lace. Lightly burnt caramel aromas, with a mild backdrop of sour-mash grain. Light toasted sweetness starts the sip. Heavy malt flavors throughout the quaff. Light acidic bitterness late that helps clear away all the malt and give this one a rather dry finish. With the acidity it gives it a somewhat odd feel, but nothing bad. One of the better tasting brews from this brewery. BuckNaked (1209), Tempe, Arizona, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 7, 2004 Bottle: Hazy reddish brown with a small light tan head. Grains, chocolate, mild caramel, cashews, smells thin. Taste is roasted nuts, coffee, tobacco, dirt, chocolate, lemon. Light to medium body, thin mouthfeel. egajdzis (3631), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 6, 2004 Poured a lightly hazy, reddish brown color with a small off white head. Chocolate, roasted, nutty, caramel malt aroma. This is starting to remind me of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. More chocolate, nuts, tobacco, and roast in the taste. Almost identical to the above mentioned Choc. Bock, though this had more bitterness, and less of the milk chocolate creaminess. vtrain (14), Brooklyn, New York, USA
