May 4, 2008 Growler @ Flossmoor pre-DLD fest, thanks to bwkreiger. Red with medium beige head. Aroma is very strong lager yeast, dry malt with some noble hops. Strong noble hop flavor with interesting sort of wheat note and dirty malt. Medium-thin body with subtle creaminess. Pretty nice but nothing out of the ordinary.

Apr 28, 2008 Growler @ Flossmoor pre-DLD fest, courtesy of bwkreiger. Thanks!! Pours a clear, deep amber-brown color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of caramel and nougat in the aroma: dry, toasty grains. Medium mouthfeel: soft carbonation; bready, toasty grains, sugar and caramel; very pleasant, soft, and intensely drinkable stuff. Medium finish: toasty grains, sugar, cereal, and toffee.

Apr 28, 2008 Thanks to bwkrieger for sharing from his growler. Nice pour, a reddish chestnut body with a slender off-white head. The aroma is rich with warm caramel balanced by an herbal and hard nut bitterness. The balance is well maintained in the flavor, just enough to keep that malty sweetness in check. A decent Dunkel, and a fine beer for Wisconsin rating #300 (out of 4171). <font size=-4> Pre-Dark Lord Gathering 2008 at Flossmoor Station, IL, 4/25/2008.<font size=-1>
