3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Dextolen (151) - Michigan, USA - SEP 2, 2005
Bottle. Pours a dark brown/blackish with a decent tan head. No lacing but my glass was pretty wet. Wonderful licorice sorta anise aroma. I really love the smell of this brew. My wife hates it. I’m like...molasses...and she chimes in "poop". What does she know? Mellow flavors, a bit chocolatey, malty. Dry. I dig it.

3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Crosling (1861) - Loveland, Colorado, USA - OCT 3, 2004
This beer pours a reddish tree bark and is topped with a big and dense white head that laces well and lasts a while. Interesting color.
Nice nose! Sweet roasted malts and loads of caramel.
Lightly carbonated but still has a pretty warm and creamy mouthfeel. Sweet roasted grains, caramel with a hint of some dark fruits and chocolate/cocoa.
Nice beer.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 asheft (2072) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 27, 2006
Strong Hallertau or other German hops aroma with some "soft" dark malt toastiness. Dark reddish-brown appearance that is opaque in a wide glass, but nothing like a Guinness or Kostritzer; lasting tan fuzz. Smooth malt flavour with subtle, spicy melanoidins rounded off by a light, toasted chocolate. Floral German, noble hops and very gentle bitterness. Light to medium body with considerable carbonation and a smooth finish.

Surprisingly yeasty aroma for a lager. Pours with a slight, short-lived head. Light body, sweet without being syrupy, minimal hops, but plenty of yeast. Soft palate with a very clean finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 ruggedman (643) - Portland, Maine, USA - MAR 18, 2009
Bottle at Novare Res.
Labeled as Schwarzbier because I’m in the US, but still pours a nice brown with a tan head. Aroma of maple syrup, hints of malts, and brown sugar. Flavor is brown sugary, but not cloying at all. Very well balanced. Nice clean finish and mouthfeel. This beer is exceedingly easy to drink, but actually very enjoyable at the same time. Damn fine session beer i’d wager.
