2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Kevin (1951) - Colorado, USA - MAY 9, 2004
bottle. reddish brown color with a fast vanising head, sweet aroma. burnt toffee taste, sits on tongue rather well. consistent flavor throughout. a little sweeter than i personally like, but not bad. gets sweeter as you drink. and thats not a good thing. overpowers everything else.

Dark brown, OK fading head. Aroma faintly of sweet malts. Flavor was faintly of sweet malt as well. Remarkably little of note going on in my mouth here. Stunningly non-descript.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 DUbrew (49) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 10, 2004
Nothing special. Too light for its style and nothing really elicites your senses. Good head though

I thought this beer would be so much better from the look and smell of it, it just did not leave me with a very satisfied feeling. Aroma is different, tastes all right, not much more to say on this one. Kind of boring. not memorable.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 fly (1357) - austin, Tejas, USA - MAR 17, 2004
Dipping once again into the bucket of old pals. I go back to this one now and then as I have since forst trying 20 some odd years ago. Not as impressed as I was then, but it's a solid, well balanced beer that is very easy to drink. Now. who can tell me what brew this brewery put in their 5L mini kegs?
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 cstuartj (607) - Washington, USA - MAR 17, 2004
Overly sweet, and annoyingly bright is what came to mind as I worked my way through this beer. I don’t use the word ‘worked’ lightly, this beer was not my cup of tea and it was work to finish it off. Everything here is muted by the sticky thick sweetness and large ABV hiding behind it, no complex hops, no deep roast, not even the dominate subtleties of yeast that often accompany a good doppleboch style beer. In all fairness this is not an awful beer, but way waste your time when there are so many truly great beers out there?
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 beastdog75 (347) - Brick, New Jersey, USA - MAR 16, 2004
A nice, sweet dunkel lager. Not really complex and the sweetness might put some people off, but a very quaffable beverage. The notes of molasses do seem to be the focus here, and the hop bitterness isn't at all that developed. Better than Beck's Dark or St. Pauli Girl Dark.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Sham (1846) - Seattle, Washington, USA - FEB 26, 2004
Pours a dark brown with an off white head that quickly dissapates, no lace really. Sweet malts, toffee and some floral hops in the nose. Again, toffee and sweet malts are dominating the flavor. More citrus hops this time and a touch of alcohol. The body is fairly thick, the palate slightly spicy and a finish of bitter hops and alcohol.
