Bottle via the rip and run. Pours a light clear brown. Crisp with light caramel and nut tone. Head dissipates quickly and is left to a central lily pad complex from carbonation alone. Body is sweet and light. Toffee and caramel mostly not much in the grain/cereal department. A refreshing quaffer. Sweet finish.

Flavor is light and crisp, hoppier than the aroma but with a decent chocaltey malt background. Beer is a bit thin but enjoyable, a decent dunkel.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a light head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is not strong but there is a nutty, malty, coffee aroma. The taste is a little nutty too with coffee, roasted and it is a bit bitter, which I like. Overall though this is an average dark beer but enjoyable.
