Commercial Description:
This rich, malty dark ale is reminiscent of the smooth ales produced by the Weltenberg Brewery in Northwestern Germany. The Pilsner, Caravienne, Munich, Chocolate, Black malts and Roasted Barley give this great dark ale a creamy, roasted malt flavor, which is perfectly balanced with Cascade hops.

Draught at the brewpub
Dark amber color. Light aroma. Some flavor of caramel and chocolate malt. Drinkable but too simple.

Light brown color with a thin lacey off-white head. Mildy sweet and lightly roasted aroma. Body is dry with some grainy caramel malt flavor and candy sweetness. A nicely drinkable dark ale.

White head on a black body with abundant light shining through this dark ale. Flavor is strange... similar to the black-soba from Rogue with a twangy vegetable and cream flavor. Bland and flavorless with a mild, pasty palate and an aroma that stinks of milk and vegetables. The only good qualities about it are that the bad flavors are not strong at all. Very subtle.

Had on tap at the brewpub in Austin. Dark brown fading to black appearance with. Flavor has a bit of a roasty flavor. Has a decent malty backbone, but overall, is rather bland. Mouthfeel is decent enough, but needs work.

Shows promise and then lays down and dies. Utter dissapointment. Good thing I only got the sampler at this place.

On tap at the brewpub; surprsingly this was my favorite on the night. Poured a dark, almost reddish brown with a decent amount of head. Aroma was caramel and roasted; bit of chocolate. Flavor was very drinkable for the style with a nice blend of chocolate, caramel and fruity malts. Good for the style.
