COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Dark chocolate in color, you can see a wonderful reflection if you hold it up to the light. It is round and soft with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly roasted malted barley. A satisfying, malty taste, with coffee-ish tones and a hint of plummy fruitiness in the finish. Complex and beautifully balanced.

Dawghouse Brewers99 (91) - Exeter, California, USA - DEC 26, 2001
Sweet malty aroma and flavor. Fits style perfectly. Well balanced not too cloying. Some chocolate malt notes come through in the taste. Another good beer by Ayinger. That’s why they are one of Germany’s best!

OKplus (355) - Oklahoma, USA - MAY 3, 2013
A - 3 fingers of tan foamy head slowly melt on top dark amber brown body. Specks of lacing towards the top of the glass. S - Sugary ginger bread. Loads of nutty toffee malt. T - Spiced pumpernickel crust. Raisins, nuts, and dried cherries. Lots of roasted toffee. Slightly buttery. Some pepper in the back makes for a clean finish. M - Low carbonation, light bodied, smooth. Flavors were good but seems a tad watery. The dark malts were comforting in a way. Good nose. Rich aftertastes of toffee and caramel.

nearbeer (3048) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - APR 29, 2013
500 ml. Clear dark copper-brown with a lasting film of cream. Mild nose of molasses, vanilla and a hint of tart apple. Tastes of molasses with hints of chocolate, apple, citrus and some bitterish toasted nut and dry grass on the finish. Medium body has medium carbonation and is to the sweet side, but finishes with a nice balance.
