1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle courtesy drowland. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a foamy off white colored head. Aroma is syrupy, sticks, and some stale notes. Flavor is woody, stale malts, leaves and odd finishes. Not great.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark copper brown with off white head. a little smell of caramel, bread and dark fruits. Taste is not much different with all of those pronounced and the darker grains and fruit in finish. A taste of kiwi in finish added a nice and surprising twist.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
8/21/11. Goofy shaped 11.2oz bottle. Brown pour, lots of red under light, with a big creamy tan head that cuts in half but lasts. Roasted caramel aroma with toffee and biscuits, unfortunately tainted by skunk. Decent flavor of caramel, medium toast malt, and toffee... but also a touch of skunk. The toasted caramel aspect really comes out. Not bad.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Notes of caramel sticky buns on the nose but very faint. Also grainy and slightly hoppy. Flavor followed. Not too bad. The pour is the best part - nice, clear, brown color with light brown, fluffy head.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Appearance: medium reddish-brown with a short, off-white fizzy head and very little lace. Aroma: dark brown bread, notes of brown sugar, nuts, toast, and a hint of smoke. Taste: notes of cinnamon toast, sauteed nuts, rootbeer, toffee and dark malts, with a hint of chocolate and licorice. Finish: Sweet, crisp, slightly metallic and tangy. Notes: Sweet, toasty, lightly drinkable but a little oily in the palate. The only off note was in the finish. I like a good schwarzbier, and this was pretty good. No comparison to a Kostritzer though.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dunkele rot-braune Färbung. Im Geruch röstmalzig. Geschmack röstig und leicht süßlich anmutend. Im Mittelteil kommen einige Bitternoten hinzu (die Bitterschokolade ist auch noch vorhanden).
Gut gemachtes Dunkel aus Einbeck. Hat mir gefallen.Test vom 2.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche
