Syrupy, molasses nose; caramel-Coke color; foamy tan head. Full caramelly malt body, toffee, chocolate tones. Tight quick bitter. Impeccable balance. Mediumn body. Classy, sophisticated, great German dark.

Medium foamy head and a nice mahagony color. Almond nose with clay notes and honey in the end. Roasted almond taste - medium lasting with a hoppy twinge. All in all a bit weak though a decent example of it’s style.

pale for a schwarz, clear auburn with a irregular off-white head. Coffee grains and dirty soil earthiness. Very grainy palate, watery and a bit bland. Total void in the finish, slight herbs and nothing else, light bodied, moderate carbonation, average stuff..

330 ml bottle sampled with tiggmtl, Rastacouere and Olivier_MTL at Ashleys in Ann Arbor MI. Ah, so this is a dunkel..that explains why it didn’t seem much like the schwarzbier it was labeled. Well anyway, it’s clear dark caramel colored with a moderatley lasting off-white head...light malty nose hints of anise, prunes, slight burnt quality...malt and some dark fruits in the body, caramel and grape/raisin, touch of smoky bitterness. OK.

Murky caramel colored body. Nice thick light tan head with excellent glass lacing. Smells like an Eibecker, hell even the Pilsener smelled like this. Sweet caramel molasses. The flavor is where things do not hold up. Watery both in palate and flavor. Sweetness is the only thing going on in my sample, except for some oxidation. Waatery palate as previously mentioned. A dissapointment.

Poured with a decent forced head that quickly dissappeared. Dark brown in color, no lacing. Aroma was distincly that of the enchiladas I always get at mexican restaurants; not sure exactly what it comprises, but cheesy and vegetably come to mind. Flavor is not much different, though not as pronounced. Vegetables really come through, especially green pepper and maybe a touch of tomato. No hop bitterness tasted at all. Palate was very run of the mill: medium-body with little aftertaste.

Bottle. Dark brown colour, small head. Nice powerful flavour. Nicely roasted, fresh coffe aftertaste. Good body.

(bottle) Dark brown to amber colour with a steady foamy off-white head. Shy nose of nuts and roasted malts. Soft bittersweet flavour. Only light to medium bodied, sharp carbonated. Slight taste of roasted malts with notes of coffee and an unexciting dry and hoppy finish.
