| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 6, 2009 Suprisingly little skunk for being in a clear bottle. Lite flavor and body but the balance is there so I like it. iamqueensblvd (201), , Iowa, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Very watered down color and flavor. Clear bottle was an automatic offput for some reason...bought it anyways...never again. jbuzz (661), South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Went down way to easy. Smooth Carmel light hips watery brown color with a small head. Not very complex but darn good. drowland (1412), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 16, 2009 I was sick/stuffed up, so it was hard to get a good sense of aroma and flavor... extremely carbonated... MrBunn (1538), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 17, 2009 Bottle... and I might add it is a lovely clear bottle (minus one to appearance for this sin). Woo hoo! Pour is no surprise... it is like I could see it coming. a nice tarnished penny color with a pretty big but ephemeral head. Aromas are malty, with hints of earth and nuts. Flavor is a washed out sweetness with little other direction... maple syrup, nuts, toffee/caramel. Not very interesting... but still pleasant enough. tmoreau (579), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 9, 2009 Sample on tap at the Freight House, Stillwater, MN. Plastic cup, mid-brown hue with a little ruby tone. The head was light tan, bubbly, and quick to reduce to a film. Not much lacing to speak of. The nose was some toasty malt, nuts and meal, with a hint of caramel. The flavor presented the same notes. Okay. Exception to the commercial description: Always want the flavor but not necessarily the heaviness. uglyblond1 (174), Nebraska, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 27, 2009 At brewery. A bit lighter than I am acustomed to in this style. Malty but not as rich as some. I didn’t get enough hops in the finish, left with a bland generic lager finish with a slight caramel tone. nuplastikk (1197), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 10, 2009 12oz in a clear bottle. Filtered brown-amber color. Fluffy head. The aroma isn’t so attractive, sugary and macro. Drinkable, sort of a half-ass Newcastle. Malty, nutty, some caramel. Lacks the richness of most German Dunkels. Not horrible, bur certainly below par.
