Suprisingly little skunk for being in a clear bottle. Lite flavor and body but the balance is there so I like it.

Very watered down color and flavor. Clear bottle was an automatic offput for some reason...bought it anyways...never again.

Went down way to easy. Smooth Carmel light hips watery brown color with a small head. Not very complex but darn good.

I was sick/stuffed up, so it was hard to get a good sense of aroma and flavor... extremely carbonated...

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.

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.

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.

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.
