| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 19, 2005 Sampled at Brew Ha Ha 2005. Red-orange with a big white head. Light caramel aroma and flavor with some light malted milk ball and cinnamon. I felt this was too carbonated which made distinguishing some flavors difficult. DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 18, 2005 Bottle. Clear dark brown body, thin light head. Dark, tart-roasty bock aroma. The flavor is less assertive however, featuring musky, roasty butter malts. 1FastSTi (2590), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 18, 2005 Sampled from a bottle, this beer has an aroma that is dunkelweizen-like. Wheat, banana, bock malts, caramel. It pours to a dark brown body with a tan head. The flavor is a light tart grain, sweet caramel, medium toasted malts. The palate is medium bodied and fills out this beer. argo0 (7019), Washington DC, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 20, 2005 musty yeast aroma and strong caramel. Pours a nice reddish copper, nice white head. Sweetish caramel middle. Medium body. A little thin on the finish with a slight sourness. Not too bad. piscator34 (1134), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 20, 2005 Dark caramel in colour with slightly below average carbonation. Interesting aromas of strong malt, toffee, and cinnamon. The flavors don’t quite live up to the aromatic billing, with some fairly bland yet sweet malty notes along with some minor bread and roasted malt tastes. I think it needs some more nutty flavors and a little less sweetness. Average. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 9, 2005 Deep caramel auburn, tannish head. Faint nose, some caramel malts, mild peatiness. Flavor is unimpressive, caramel sweetness is a mite cloying, sugariness takes over. Some bready malts. Finishes astringent. jewedekind (450), Middleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 4, 2005 A nice enough looking beer, light golden red-brown with a pleasing white head. Nose is malty and toasted. Flavor is truly caramel and biscuit malts. Some off flavors of plastic or diacetyl. Fairly well balanced, the dryness counteracts the sweet malts very well.
