a nice easy drinking dark beer, chocolate malts and caramel sweetness, low bitterness, a $2 tall pint is a perfect companion to a $4 gambler special breakfast

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours dark brown with an off white head. Smells of rich malt and spicy. Tastes sweet and malty with a nutty finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at the brewpub. Pours a dark amber-brown color with a thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. Lightly roasty aroma with mild malt and coffee. Medium body with toasted malt, chocolate and mild hops flavor. The finish is lightly smoky with malt and hops flavors that linger a bit. Somewhere between a Dunkel and Schwarzbier, albeit not a great example of either. Average overall.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Some coffee aroma. Head is non-existent and poor. The flavor on this is mostly thin and wak. Easy drinking but nothing’s there.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draught at the brewpub
Black color. Poor Schwarz, some caramel, light chocolate malt, less dry than other Schwarz.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark brown with light at the bottom. Smoky grain nose, light burnt malt flavor, sweet malt nose with the smoky grains... but almost flavorless... everything is so mild and thin... and there’s even some sour cream and milk. Not good.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Little to no head atop a tawny body (Dunkel? I think not!) Decent nose of sweetness and toasted malts. Palate was way too soft and watery.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Dark brown with a reddish hue. Sweet, roasty malts with a slight bitterness. Watery. Musty, locker-room aroma. Dirty lines or dirty beer?
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Initially tastes like a watery stout more than a good dunkles. Light sweetness. Any roasty flavor is barely noticeable until the second half of the swig. Barely average.
