Naka (375), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 14, 2008 Pours a dark opaque reddish brown color. The head is about 1-finger light tan. The aroma is dark roasted malts. Molasses and raisins. Taste is pretty mild. Some caramel, prunes, with a slight toasted bitterness. Mouthfeel is light, yet creamy. Leaves a slight burnt bitter flavor. Very drinkable, but not anything too special.
Rciesla (712), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Jul 4, 2008 Bottle best i’ve had from this company. Pours a light brown body with some malty caramel aromas. A little like a bock but more like a pils. Not bad for shop rite. Quake1028 (625), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 19, 2008 Draught at Schnitzelhaus Tampa. Cola brown body with a smallish white head. Dissipates quickly and leaves minimal lacing. Nose of nutty bread, caramel, molasses, chocolate and malt. Flavor profile carries over all of that, with the focus on the malts and nutty notes. Pretty damn tasty beer, actually, and quite a bit underrated in my books. Medium bodied, could use a little more heft but probably pretty true to style. Finish is medium-long, nuts, caramel and sweet malts play out. Surprising. dwyerpg (1990), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jun 13, 2008 A fairly rich aroma with a bit of molasses. Quite light and easy, but has a good sweeness in the finish, maybe a hint of chocolate. Good stuff. MrBunn (802), Western, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 6, 2008 Bottle. Pours a brown with a frothy head and aromas of sweet malt and grain dust. Flavor is toffee and sweet malt with touches of dark fruit, but sits short on complexity. Hank1980 (327), Athens, Georgia, USA Jun 2, 2008 Pours dark red/brown with a tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel and malt. Taste of caramel, fruit, and malt. Finish is smooth. Body is medium and carbonation is light.
