Clear, reddish brown appearance with a fast fading head and almost no lacing. Straightforward caramel malt aroma. Taste is also primarily caramel malt with a touch of molassas. Medium bodied mouthfeel with a sweet lingering finish. The brewer could have phoned this one in.

Dec 9, 2009 Poured clear and copper with a short white head. The aroma was a distinctive malt, toffee and faint chocolate. The flavor was nutty and spicy, a bit of chocolate and some astringency that was kind of distracting. Thin body, well carbonated. Not my favorite from them.

Dec 5, 2009 Draft at the Bavarian Lodge (Lisle, IL). Pours a very dark reddish copper, creamy offwhite head that stays decent sized, laces very well. Pretty much transparent despite being dark. Aromas are a nice dark maltiness, caramel and toffee, toast, and subtle sweet malts. Initial is a good base of sweet caramel, toffee, biscuits, and bread. A nice sweet malt base, a faint bitterness on the finish. Quite smooth and drinkable, mellow sweetness, toast is secondary, a touch nutty and faint vanilla. This is nice, refreshing, and highly drinkable with a decent amount of flavor/character for a darker lager. Not bad at all.

Nov 24, 2009 12oz bottle:
Appearance: Pours a dark reddish brown with very little head (tan) that disappears fast and no lace left in the glass.
Aroma: Grainy malt with some caramel
Taste: Roasted malt with some grain, caramel and sweetness. The finish is crisp and clean with no aftertaste.
It would be easy to drink a few of these.

Nov 20, 2009 One of my favorite beers ever. I don’t know why but I have a soft spot for the wonderful grainy maltiness and delicious noble hops in this beer. I can drink this to oblivion. If I could only have one beer this might be it.

Nov 6, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a dark amber color with a fizzy off-white head. Aroma of roasted grains and caramel. Sweet taste is primarily of malts and some toffee. Overall quite sweet, without a crisp or dry hop finish. Average mouthfeel and carbonation. Not a whole lot going on here.

Oct 24, 2009 On tap @ Humpy’s Anchorage, AK. Clear amber with a thick light tan head. Aroma is of bread, sweet dark malt and very light noble hops. Flavor is liquid bread, sweet and malty with just a faint touch of bitterness. Medium body with a mild carbonation and a thick mouth feel. This is a nice Dunkel but was a little let down, just a bit too sweet and the hops were barely noticeable.
