Clear medium red brown color with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, caramel, modeate nutty. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090523]

A deep red beer with a dense brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as hints of butter. The flavor has strong notes of butter, but nicer notes of caramel, and hints of smoke, leading to a dry hoppy end. Take away the butter and it’d be good.

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is butterish and caramelish. Solid butterish, slight metallic and dark breadish flavoured. Vague cardboardish flat malt note. Ends dry and light bitter mixed with a roasted breadish malt note.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a beautiful, dark amber with a creamy, white head. Rather unusual sweetish caramel nose with a sheryish note. Medium body with roasted accents and some caramel. Soft finish with only discreet hops. Lovely. 190206

Bottled. Amber colour, small beige foamy head. Aroma is caramel malts, some nuts, grass and slight sugaryness. Flavour is caramel malts, some fruits and slight metallic notes. Quite pleasant. Bready malts in finish as well as slight roasted notes.

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2010 Apparently needs to be fresh.:

Bottle, 5.2%. Very buttery aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Small stable off-white head. The flavour is also quite buttery, seems a bit more malty and caramelly. Not so good, though. 2 3 3 3 3

Bottle, 5.2% bought at the brewery. Vinous, roasted aroma. Beautiful clear dark chestnut colour. Very small tan head. Good roasted flavour. Mildly nutty. Very well-balanced. 7 3 7 3 17

Bottle. Huge head with excellent duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma and taste are roast malt, caramel, malt and hops.

Dark golden brown. Breadcrusty chocolate nose. Very complex toasty dark malts. The toasty palate is quite dry, but not quite as unique as the aroma suggests. Still, this is a quality dark lager.

Cloudy mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma had roasted malt, caramel and rye bread. Flavour had roasted malr, caramel rye bread and nuts. Finished sweet.

Bottle at home. It’s dark, red-brown with a creamy head, and the aroma has notes of nuts, syrup, roasted malt and caramel. The sweet flavour has notes of roasted malt, caramel, nuts, light syrup, and the finish is dry with a light bitterness.
