Murky dark tea colored. Nose malty and sweet, bit of molasses. Flavor has caramel malts, sweet and a bit sticky.

Pours dark straw/amber. Aroma of malt, slight toffee, slight brown sugar. Tastes malty, with some toffee, cognac, and earthy qualities. Light on mouthfeel, and as it warmed it didn’t improve much.

Pour a nice dark amber/light brown color. Has some dark malt flavors along with some grassy and herbal qualities. Flavor seemed to get more watery as I drank more of it. Decent dunkel, but nothing too memorable.

moderate brown with beige head, moderately lasting. lights hops are present throughout with a very mild nuttiness. slightly skunked..nice choice of the green bottle...thin and not all that pleasant.

This is not bad, not great, but nicely drinkable. Had some nice toffee, caramel, at sometimes, coke flavors, slightly syrupy in that respect. A thin line of balancing, as well as kind of a thin mouthfeel. Lingering aftertaste.

Pours clear dark gold with a large head. Aroma very skunky. Flavor was OK; slightly sweet, roasted. But not much there. Finish was slightly bitter and a little soapy. Body was thin with lots of carbonation. Unimpressive.

Brown color with a modest off white head. Mild malt, caramel, toffee and nuts in the aroma. Hints of nobel hops. Flavors aline with the aromas. Somewhat earthy and a touch metallic. Thin and a bit fizzy.

Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium brown. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel, nuts, grain), lightly hoppy (flowers). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, slightly metallic. Grainy aftertaste, meek aroma, not much to recommend here.
