5000 (2400), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Jan 1, 2008 Draught at Widmer: Deep amber, moreso ruby, moderate foamy light beige head, fairly nice lacing.   Sweet roasted malt nose,
slight caramel malts.   Sweet malty amber up front, roasted malts show up halfway through and linger through the finish.   Clean,
easy drinking.   Body and mouthfeel are a solid moderate.   Big hefty roasty amber... I like it!
rkuhnel (1146), Eureka, California, USA Jan 13, 2006 Updated: Jan 22, 2007On tap at the Widmer Gasthaus, Portland brewhouse. Very rich and dark with a small brown head. Lots of flavors with rich malts and a touch of hops. Smooth on the tongue. A great winter brew. harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Jan 10, 2006 (Draught - GastHaus) Pours a deep brown color almost cola like in the glass, and a small tan head that disappears as quick as it came. PIne nuts and spruce tips, with some caramel and toffee, a nice biscuity matly beer with some fragrant hops and just a bit of spice and minerals. Good for a pint bu11zeye (3780), Frisco, Texas, USA Jan 8, 2006 (Draught, Widmer Gasthaus) Pours a deep amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, grass, roastiness, and a hint of fruit. Flavor of pine, caramel, and malt. DA (2484), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Nov 27, 2004 On tap at the Horse Brass Pub in Portland. Pours a very dark mahogany, almost black with a small tan head. Aroma is lightly roasty, slightly fruity, with a floral hop backing. This brew was a bit watery and thin on the palate, I was hoping for a bit more malty thickness to it. Slight caramel malt start with a big bland bitterness to finish it off.
