Pours a light brown with a nice sized white head. Has some caramel and coffee qualities to the flavor. This beer is much better on tap.

Pours a beautiful dark brown with little head to speak of. Nice mix of roasted malt and chocolate rounded out by a subtle hops presence. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. A very good beer.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 tjthresh (1840) - Greenfield, Indiana, USA - MAY 26, 2005
Served in Frankenheim specific glass at Waldo Pizza. Brown, and crystal clear with no head. I felt the aroma was lacking but there was some choco-caramel notes. Very good Choco-caramel flavor though. Med body. For 2 bucks a glass you can’t beat it.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 arjoseph (634) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 13, 2005
Bottle into kolsch glass, Edelweiss Restaurant, Bellevue NE. Yellowish off-white head over a bread-crust brown and clear beer. Aroma of bread/cookie, with a bit of citrus crisp. Prickly hops up front, candied caramel apple flavor is dominant, cookie, and brown sugar in a malty finish (some wheat malt notes of acidity and yeast). Great level of acidity and subdued sweetness. Nice european hops on the finish as well. A bit watery on the mouthfeel, medium bodied and softly balanced.

Beautiful dark amber color. Nice head out of bottle. Looks rich, and tastes terrific!!! Caramel sweet and coffee undertone makes this a very drinkable and thrist quenching beer. A little bit of a woodsy apple finish. I like this one very much. Great beer!!!
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Aggie80 (740) - Michigan, USA - APR 20, 2005
Strong ice tea color, some head and a little lacing. Malty aroma with some fruit undertones. Low carbonation. Malt is the strong point.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 MoritzF (7137) - Bochum, GERMANY - APR 20, 2005
(bottle) Dark red to amber colour with ivory foamy head. Slight malty aroma with caramellish and fruity hints. The taste is ostensible malty, slightly toasted. Light to medium bodied, lively carbonated and crispy palate with a short medium dry finish
3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 asheft (2032) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - APR 19, 2005
Clear, reddish brown with a creamy head that lasted and left nice lacing. The aroma was kind of lagery with noble hops and faint hints of malt; not all that appetizing. The flavour makes up a bit for what is lacking in the aroma: nutty and a unique, toasty malt combined with noble hops throughout the flavour and just a tiny hint of bittering. Biscuity with some curious fruit notes. Light to medium body and medium carbonation.
