CelticBrew (676), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Apr 11, 2008 12 oz. brown bottle. Poured out the color of brown shoe polish, with a minimal white head on it. Aromas are of roasted malts, some yeastiness, and not much else. I can barely detect a smattering of hops, but it is fleeting. Tastes are of malts, some coffee notes, yeast, and a slight, but quickly disappearing note of hops. Slightly bitter tasting, but it’s more from the malts than the hops. Mouth feel is smooth enough and the finish slightly bitter, but this is essentially a macro dunkel. Drinkable enough but not complex. EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Apr 11, 2008 Clear dark brown with a thick long lasting white head. Very grainy aroma. Smells almost like honey wheat bread. Tastes like a hearty bread with some sweetness and hops. Simple but good. AlcoholChair (10), Godfrey, Illinois, USA Apr 10, 2008 Good beer. I had this after tasting Hobgoblin and it didn’t quite match up but wasn’t too far. A dark and smokey taste, not as nutty or fruity. A good rich beer full of flavor. ELab2 (38), USA Apr 7, 2008 Light aroma. Really rich color. Light body but with a nice malty flavor and slightly bitter after taste. Solid Dunkel that isn’t too difficult to find compared to other Dunkels. Frauditor (148), Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Apr 5, 2008 draft at hennings. poured dark brown with red outskirts. speaking of skirts - this brew is kinda weak. flavor had slight rusted metal taste, which could have been from the taps at hennings. not much of an impression left. thechandler (268), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA Apr 5, 2008 Drank from bottle. Aroma was light and slightly malty. Flavor was good, balanced. Caramel hops with medium-bodied taste. Smooth. Good. FLnative80 (174), Orlando, Florida, USA Mar 26, 2008 Bottle. 11.2 fl. oz. Very dark brown with a hint of red contrasted nicely by a very light colored head that quickly diminishes leaving what looks like cola. Fairly thin bodied with a watery texture. Light, sweet malty aroma with a similarly nice flavor that goes down real easy. Leaves a nice bitter aftertaste. Nothing spectacular, but tasty nonetheless. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Mar 25, 2008 Single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville. Pours a nice medium brown color with virtually no head to speak of. Aroma is nice roasted malt. Taste is also roasted, nice finish. This is better than expected.
