Sep 19, 2009 Tap @ beer house in Munich. Dark garnet body topped with a creamy tan head and little lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, grains, roasted malt. Body is medium with creamy carbonation. Flavor is gentle and balanced with dark fruits (dried), caramel notes, and a lightly roasted backdrop. Best beer I had in Germany. Very refined.

Sep 17, 2009 From the 500 ml bottle with no noticeable expiration date or lot code. The pour is a bubbly but attractive amber-brown and a small beige head, The aroma is of barley malts and caramel or molasses. The mouthfeel is of medium to heavy texture. The taste is mainly sweet with malts, coffee, and fresh hops in the background. This too me is how a Bavarian dark beer should be.

Sep 9, 2009 Pours a dark caramel color with a fading off white head. Aromas of German malts, caramel, and grainy cereal. Flavor is similar - mainly malts with a hint of dark fruit. Palate has the typical German tingling on the tongue. Not too bad

Sep 7, 2009 Pours a dark transparent red with a small white head. The aroma is malty. Caramel, prunes, honey and grass. The taste is really musty, in an unpleasant way. Tastes like old moldy barley... Like when I used to clean out my Dad’s grain bins in the fall before harvest. Mouth feel is decent. Meh, I’m sure this beer could taste better whether fresh, on tap ect. But this bottle/batch is not that great.
