| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2009 The liquid is a dark amber and nearly clear. There is some fine lace left on the glass after each sip.
Interestingly, I think this smells similarly to an American Amber--more malty (with light crystal malt) than bitter. It doesn’t seem like a dunkel to me. The flavor does revert to style with stronger darker malts coming through on the tongue. It also has the warming characteristics of a much higher alcohol beer. The body is light as expected. The aftertaste is bland but well-balanced.

Aroma is rich malty, but lacks a little. It tastes vort?!. Maybe it needs a little more alcohol?. This bottle has exceded the BB date a long time ago. Maybe it is better when its fresh.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a deep brown body with a reddish tint. Dense, two-finger width, light brown head that dissipates slowly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is nutty with a medium roast and grainy. Some sweet malts and a light plum on the nose as well. Flavor is roasty and bready. Some dark fruits, nuts, and a hint of citrus with a light sweetness. Finishes slightly dry with a medium lasting aftertaste. Medium bodied, clean, and smooth. Overall, I was anticipating a little more sweetness, but it actually had a nice, clean roasty taste. Not bad at all. Rustyham (560), miami, Florida, USA
