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.

Bottle. Tested 11/1-06. Dark red colour, with a nice white creamy foam. Lots of sweet roasted maltyness in the aroma, and a nice bitternes in the backround. Medium creamy malty body, with a nice dry bitter finish.

33 cl bottle at Ölrepubliken, Göteborg, on January 5, 2012
BB 12.07.12
Clear dark reddish brown color, medium lasting tan to light brown head. Malty, grainy, some fudge scent. Malty, fudge, sweet, somewhat berry taste, some minerals that throws me off. Malty aftertaste. Medium to moussy mouthfeel, medium high bitterness.
Very nice, very drinkable, I’ve had it before and I’ll buy it again fro sure!
Nicely done Einbecker!

Kristall-König (1642) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - JUN 22, 2011
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

astrofrk (314) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - DEC 1, 2008
Red-Amber. Medium head. Aroma: Toasted malts. Flavor: Same + bread, somewhat thin. Light bitter finish. I detected smoke in the finish. This changed my impression of this beer.

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.

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.

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

mctous (131) - Herndon, Virginia, USA - NOV 16, 2005
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.

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.
