1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Draught at the brewpub. Mahogany colour. Appley nose. Sweet and clean, fairly light bodied. Syrupy and apply with limp caramelly malt. Low bitterness. Probably not in good shape, but when you are drinking at the brewpub they have control over every aspect of the serving.

dark amber, thin off-white head, nice malt aroma with hints of chocolate, good malt flavor with bits of chocolate and carmel but no complexity, only a hint of hops or bitterness in the finish, a weak spot in the lineup, german stile lager - a dunkle?

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear dark amber-brown color with a medium thin and creamy light beige head that diminishes quickly. Thin sheet of lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet malt and nuts. Light body with vaguely sweet malt, nut and light hops flavor. The finish is sweet chocolate malt that does not linger very long. Barely average overall.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tad bit of the nutty aroma and indeed a nut-brown-like taste, but also with a strong sweet side. Strange combination, but decent.
