This was a very decent dunkel, almost a black color, very smooth and drinkable.

Draft. Medium brown, thin head. I did not enjoy this one much... taste was off, too sour. There are better choices to enjoy at Ellicott Mills.

Goes well after drinking a mazen when its not that hot out. Overall I would have to say this the best among their staple beers.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty grainy aroma with hints of caramel. Fruity malty grainy flavor. Has a fruity malty grainy caramel finish.

Dark brown and full bodied like the description. I just thought that this was another weak beer from the brewer. If was drinkable, just not a great dunkel.

dark copper colored pour is a bit hazy with a slightly off white ring of lace. it smells like honey, caramel cream and grain. the flavor is the same combined with a spicy dry finish. it is medium bodied with a smooth mouth feel from low carbonation.

The beer poured a deep amber, relatively clear with a slight head and low carbonation. The nose had light malts with some nice sweet citrus on the nose. This translated well to the taste as there was nice malt with an acidic touch on the from tongue while there was a slight smoke finish with just a hint of sausage. Gotta admit I didn’t pick that up on the nose. This beer has good mouthfeel as is just a tad nit light for the style, making this a very easy beer to enjoy. I did however, get some cloying towards the end of my pint, but all and all a tasty.

Draft at the brewpub. Smooth and creamy. Black-brown with a lasting foamy head. This is quite nice, light, and fluffy. My favorite of the "regular" Ellicott Mills beers.

On tap and again just too much like all the other supposedly different types, Amber in color, fairly sweet, no head, some lacing, but not a statement from the Roasted malt.

Color is dark with reddish brown tints. Minimal aroma of caramel and some roasted malts. Taste of roasted malts with some caramel sweetness. Seems too watery and unfinished.
