Oct 17, 2007 Pours a clear mahogany brown with a thin fizzy head. Aroma is the epitimy of grassy, with some sweet malt notes. Flavour has some caramel malt sweetness, with a nutty middle, pretty bland finish, and a thin watery mouthfeel hinder this beer.

Oct 16, 2007 500 ml can - pours a deep mahogany with a large but short-lived tan head. Slightly metallic German hop character in the nose, with just a touch more caramel notes than the regular Warsteiner. Flavour much the same, and the slightly sweeter quality derived from the darker malt is the only thing that sets this apart from a whole lot of Euro-lagers. Serviceable, sessionable - yes, but is this a good example of the style? I would say no, this is far too thin, and I would take the local and far tastier Denison’s dunkel over this anyday.

Oct 15, 2007 330mL bottle. Deep brown color. Khaki, foamy head. Aroma of rich malts. Sweet aroma followed by grassy hop scent. Roasted malt flavor. Very sweet toffee. Watery body dominates the late hitting finish. Not much bite... mostly sweet malts. Could use more of a roasty malt body. Forgetable.

Oct 15, 2007 Pint Mr B’s Clarkston - Aroma is mellow dark malts with a touch of hop bitterness. Pours thin black with a small head and decent lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is thin. Nothing special, but better than BMC.

Oct 13, 2007 On tap at Redlefsen’s in Bristol RI. Right off the bat i was amazed how much better this was than the pilsner. But i think its just preference in styles for me. A very dark nut color. Slight caramel aroma, sweet initial taste, and then maltier finish. Easy to drink i enjoyed it a lot after having some lighter beers first.

Oct 7, 2007 Curious weak aroma of unroasted malts. Brown color, thin tan head. Wonderfully strong taste of roasted oats and barley. Clean finish.
