ElBorracho (472), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 2, 2006 Bottle. Pours a dark murky brown with amber hues toward the edges an off-white foamy head that slowly fades to a film. Yeasts, dark fruits, nuts and a background sourness all come through in the aroma and taste. No hop bitterness to speak of. This could possibly pass for a brown ale.
jjpm74 (3400), Connecticut, USA Nov 16, 2008 Pours reddish brwon with a thin tan head. Smells of fruit, caramel, some sugary hints. Tastwes sweet and malty with some rosey hints on the finish. phishpond417 (1520), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 11, 2008 The beer pours dark and cloudy. decent sized head. has an aroma of fruit, apples, cranberries and Wisc. cheese. It finishes off dry with a little bit of nuttiness. badbeer (419), Iowa, USA Dec 23, 2007 Beer pours a deep dark brown, about a half of an inch head, with solid lacing. Smell, hints of chocolate and coffee. Taste has a decent coffee presence with a little chocolate as well as water. Decent carbonation wise, but a little too watery. Good drinkability, probably wouldn’t have more than a couple however. truebluehes (101), Waukon, Iowa, USA Sep 19, 2007 Bottle. Lighter brown ale with small head, nutty aroma with slight malts. Taste is malty and finishes fairly sweet and dry. Thin on the palate. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Aug 5, 2007 Traditional style bier. Very dark in color, with a smoky aroma but surprisingly light taste, with a citrus note. I only wish the big breweries would make a dunkel/amber that tasted like this so people wouldn’t think "it’s a dark beer, it must be heavy." From a bottle, and from the tap.
