| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 13, 2009 Pours a clear dark amber almost brown with a small quick fading beige head. Strong malty aroma, some chocolate notes along with caramel. Taste is bready, some wheat? Light bitterness that balances this brew nicely. Clean and crisp, medium-light body, easy finish.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Draught.
Deep amber body, offwhite foam.
Very typical dunkel affair on the nose and body; plenty of caramel and biscuit, hints of roasted nuts and chocolate, with a decent hop bitterness to finish.
Enjoyable! Soonah (970), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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. FlssmrBrewAlum (1182), Lisle, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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. Sledutah (112), Utah, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. stubby (326), Santee, California, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | 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. keidjxz (77), Irvine, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Pours amber brown with a thin head. Sour flavor nicely carbonated with a bitter and nutty aftertaste. troyc (1175), Lubbock, Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | 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.
