<b>11-Sep-08</b> <i>ྫྷ-oz bottle)</i> This is a bottle I’ve had in the fridge for literally a year or more, just never got around to opening it, so these notes are just for the sake of observation, and the actual numbers won’t be changed. If my previous notes are to be trusted, there seems to be a lot more chocolate in the flavor now, especially in the finish which is actually quite chocolaty and mildly earthy. The malts are mildly toasty, slightly roasty, only lightly sweet, and show no real signs of caramel. The nose is toasty and grainy with modest signs of oxidation. Body is medium. The moderate carbonation is soft on the palate. Light-brown in color with excellent clarity, and capped by over half an inch of light-tan head that recedes to a wide ring after several minutes. I can’t say that this beer is better now, although the development of chocolate is interesting, but really, for a style that should be consumed fairly quickly, I think this has held up remarkably well.
<b>09-Nov-05</b> <i>ྫྷ-oz bottle: Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido, CA)</i> Though this isn’t a great example, I generally love the dark malty beers from Germany. Lots of worty malt flavor, caramely, mildly sweet, perhaps a little nutty, and with a seemingly very mild contribution from hops. The malt flavor is definitely tasty, but the flavor lacks punch and disappears too quickly in the short-lived finish. And the thin body is the main problem with this beer, though carbonation is nice and it’s pretty easy on the palate. Malty nose that smells malty like wort but isn’t especially aromatic. Ruddy brown and fully clear, the beer is capped by an inch-tall tan head that gradually settles to a wide ring. Despite the flaws, I still find this to be a pretty enjoyable beer.

Jun 18, 2009 Pours brown with a beige head. Aroma is grain, apple, skunk, sweet malt, and is like cereal. Taste is faint nuttiness , skunk, grain, and an unpleasant sweetness. Not very good, some roast but this beer is mostly weak and cheap.

Apr 26, 2009 Clear caramel with a thin tan head. Aroma of toffee, brown sugar, nuts, but most noticeable the absence of skunk from a green bottle. Taste of malt and caramel. Low carbonation makes this bottle full of blah go down pretty easy.
