| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Dec 6, 2009 On tap poured into a stein. Dark caramel color with almost no head - but I blame that on the restaurant, not the carbonation of the beer. Aroma and taste is subtle caramel and roasted nuts, some grain character in the finish. Clean, watery palate. Not very exciting. I would give it another chance only if it were served fresh at the brewery in Germany.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 26, 2009 Ranks as a 7-plus. Certainly the darkest German beer I’ve come across, not that there have been many (yet). Poured, looked, "nosed", and tasted quite nicely. Worth visiting again. Pwn3d (1088), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Mar 7, 2009 Bottle reads ’Best Before: Sept 02 1998’. So this is about 10.5 years aged (..or expired..). A couple sips shouldn’t kill me. Pour is brown, hints of light brown. nose is roasted malts. Taste is sour, metallic and apples??

Pours a dark brown colour with a medium sized frothy off white head. An aroma of nuts and roasted malts. Taste is slightly bitter with the predominant flavour being roasted malts. Pretty good beer.

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Pours with some tan head which quickly subsides for the most part. Is a quite dark brown with hints of orange, red, and amber highlights. Has a malty and slightly roasty aroma. Cereal, malty, slightly bittersweet flavor. A tad soft though thin mouth. Had worse. Pretty ho-hum. Having a can of this Argentine version in my apartment downtown Buenos Aires. Beershine (2754), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 21, 2007 Stock/macro aroma if any at all. Smells mass-produced. Dark garnet color and a thin head. Similarly, a thin mouthfeel and body. Good carbonation though. Not complex but innocuous enough.
