london1o1 (14), USA Feb 7, 2008 This is a great session beer. It’s not much to look at, but it’s tasty and easy to drink... all night. mgumby10 (1844), Jupiter, Florida, USA Jan 27, 2008 Pours a dark malty brown with a smallish light brown head. Smells of banana, other dark fruits, sweet caramel malts, and a touch of roast too. The flavor was much the same. Pretty standard for a bock brew. The banana was apparent along with the malty sweetness, which wasnt too much over the top like some can be. Fairly solid brew from a mediocre brewery. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Jan 24, 2008 Pours dark brown with a small head.The nose was malty with some fruit and nuts.A decent offering from Penn, but nothing mindblowing. killedge (26), Miami, Florida, USA Jan 17, 2008 12oz Bottle....dark brown color with slight carbonation... thin head that stays... mellow chocolate bit malty... smooth finish dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 17, 2008 1/11/08. Draft @ Coney. Pours brown w/ amber hues. Foamy beige head. Nose isn’t very discernible. Hints of sweet malt, some fruitiness, but not much. Taste is malty, sweet w/ some caramel and chocolate. Minimal bitterness and hop character, only really noticeable in crisp ending. Really sweet. Mouthfeel is a bit lacking, watery. Not bad, but not a standout. jgb9348 (2492), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Jan 16, 2008 Nice chunky brown coloured body with a perfect sized tan head. Nearly perfect for the style. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, cherries, pit fruits and a bit of alcohol - fairly nice. Medium-bodied; Roasted malt up front with hints of nuts and raisins with some plums shortly behind. Aftertaste shows mostly must and metal - nothing special here! Overall, a decent beer, showing some promise but having it fade away slowly near the end. Worth trying, but don’t be expecting an amazing dunkel. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 15-January-2008. mj (4971), Colorado, USA Jan 15, 2008 12oz bottle. Tawny brown with red at the sides of the glass, and a low forming, unexciting head. Nose of dried cherries and cranberries, cashews, almonds and bread. Moderately sweet bready malts with semi-sour cherry syrup, caramel and almond up front, turning quickly to a pasty, stale bread flavored finish. unclemattie (2370), Georgia, USA Jan 15, 2008 15 DEC 07, Southeast YeHa. Batch #001. Medium brown color. aroma is a bit skunk. 750ml bottle. Flavor is sharp.
