Mild, malty, smooth and warm aroma. Off-white head that doesn’t last long, but has good lacing. Color is dense and murky, a deep copper-brown. Looks and smells tasty...let’s see. Syrup, the flatness of malt, followed by the spark of hops with a slight metallic end that finishes creamy. Unique! Full bodied over the tongue, leaving the lips less sticky than other dark malty goodies. I’m disappointed I bought only one.

Oct 7, 2008 Pours a dark amber with medium off-white head. Roasted malts on the nose, malty and coffee/chocolate on the finish. Not bad, but probably not quite worth the price I paid for it.

Oct 5, 2008 Pours a dark brown w/slight reddish tint, almost like a cola. Beige head goes flat instantly. Malty nose with some banana bread. Caramel and chocolate flavor. But there’s something else in it that I can’t describe. Like an artificial taste. I don’t like it, and it drags this way down. Short after-taste. This stuff tries, I mean it really tries. But that unusual taste in the backdrop is killing it.

Oct 4, 2008 500 ml bottle. Dark brown with reddish hue. Tall light beige head that clings to the glass. Nutty rich münchener malt aroma. Earthy hops. Smooth texture. Fine carbonation. Powdery malt flavours. Slightly roasted and sweet. Almost vinous. Reminds me a little of the character one finds in Old Peculier. Nice and very drinkable.
