Dec 13, 2008 Aroma is fairly strong, richly of molasses and chocolate with a hint of salt, more like the tang of a sea breeze. Color is a rich opaque chocolaty brown, appetizing and inviting. Malty flavor has a strong chocolate undertone, sweet hints, and just a touch of a salty tang. It leaves a molasses-like sweetness on the lips and tingles on the way down.

Dec 12, 2008 Bomber Bottle-black w/a slight off white head. Faint chocolate aroma. Had some chocolate flavor, some slight coffee flavor, some slight interest on my part. Just foung it to be very weak & boring; seemed overrated to me. I have had a whole lot better. I would have called it a weak stout until I looked it up here & saw it is considered a Dunkel Bock, now I will call it a weak dunkel.

Dec 11, 2008 Bottle pours black with thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate, hints of coffee and dark fruits. First taste is sweet chocolate and slight dark fruits in the middle. Clean dry finish. A little watery but better than I had expected. A little pricey but its the holidays. Worth a splurge.

Dec 11, 2008 Pours a very dark brown/black in color with a decent wispy tan head which diminishes down to a thin film pretty quickly. Aroma is light chocolate, caramel malt, some raisin and toffee. Flavor is starts off with light chocolate up front, some vinyl taste for a fraction of a second was detected, some raisin flavor in the middle and moves into a decent chocolate bitterness toward the end. I have been searching for this beer for a few years around my area and have never found it but am very disappointed and unimpressed by this Sam offering. For the price I was expecting a very superb beer but only found an low to average tasting beer. I will definitely not buy this one again unless I find for drastically less.

Dec 11, 2008 Wow...they spent a lot of money to package this beer. If the packaging had a rating this would be high. Aroma was very weak. Theres definately some chocolate there but its faint. Pour was decent deep dark brown with a half a finger tan head. Taste was pretty weak. Very watery and thin with chocolate being the only thing that emerges [though hard to pick out] As it warms theres some is some vanilla coming out. Very little carbonation and very boring
