Chocolate in aroma and malts in aroma. Roasted chocolate in flavour, the finnish becomes a bit chocolateish. A bit thin, but hell, this is good. Oakes (8114), gone rambling, Cambodia
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 7, 2005 Slightly hazy brownish-amber colour. Slight woody note, with cocoa and straightforward maltiness. It’s a bit thin and metallic, but otherwise ok flavours balancing light dark malt notes with cocoa. argo0 (6974), Washington DC, USA

Ruby-amber color, small coffee head. Grassy hoppy and milk chocolate in the aroma. Coffee beans, chocolate chips and grassy hops in the flavor.Not very bock-like, quite light malt-wise, but very drinkable, not too sweet at least. Rastacouere (5561), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 10, 2005 Diminishing white head covers a chestnut brown body. Pretty ordinary toasted cereal nose, slightly influences by leafy hops. Weak grapey and woody undertones peak through here and there, but nothing particularly enticing comes out of it. Thin-medium body, mostly relaxing carbonation. CaptainCougar (5520), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 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! hopscotch (5511), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Bottle... Clear, deep, dark, ruby ale with a mid-sized, fizzy, khaki head. Good, tight, creamy retention. Restrained, nutty, chocolate aroma. Malty flavor leans on the sweet side of balance... medium sweetness; gentle bitterness. Toasted nuts and grains. Medium-bodied with medium carbonation. Sweet, dark fruit, chocolaty finish. Thanks to pepsican for floating this brew my way! Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA
