| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 9, 2007 Growler @ Ken’s Walloping Wednesday - Clear brown, thin white fizzy head. Subdued nose of musty molasses, milk chocolate, roasted coffee, and touches of vanilla cream. Soft roasty flavors of all the above that’s well rounded with a lightly hopped ending. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry finish. Decent for a session porter. Thanks for sharing Schutzenliesel. Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Updated: Jul 12, 2007On draft @ Bier Garden in Asheville. Poured a very dark chestnut brown with a soapy white head. Mild nutty aroma with some vague chocolately tones underneath. Light-bodied. Taste starts with a nutty malt flavor and gives way to a little cocoa at the end. Lacks depth overall, but certainly drinkable. jrob21 (1266), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | May 27, 2007 On tap at the bier garden in asheville. Overwhelming and one dimensional aromas and tastes of roasted malts. Lots of coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Smooth otherwise but lacking the complexity I like in some other versions of this style. 19641948 (491), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA

Aromas of roasty maltiness with some green leafy hoppiness. A touch earthy and dare I say smoky. Simple and smooth going down. Aftertaste kicks in with more raw green hops. jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
