A chestnut coloured beer with a reasonable tan head. The aroma is smoky with burnt toast and egg. The taste has brown bread, nuts and prunes. Interesting and not very welcoming but quite pleasant.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 wnhay (722) - Princeton, New Jersey, USA - NOV 24, 2004
UPDATED: MAR 7, 2005 This beer was quite impressive. It has a very present taste which is a bit milder then a pale ale. Pretty good stuff. It goes well if you have it before hefeweizens.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 frink (467) - coquitlam, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 17, 2004
Poured a medium brown with a quick to fade head. I was hard pressed to pick up any aromas. Maybe some malt, caramel. The palate was crisp and nicely carbonated with not much in the way of flavour, light malt and some caramel and a slight cardboard taste in the finish. Stil an o.k. beer but nothing special.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 dortmunder (961) - Herdecke, GERMANY - OCT 27, 2004
Typical Alt. But a tad too boring, flat and too watery to be somehow exciting. Drinkable, though.

Pours light brown with reddish hues, with a large off-white head. Aroma is rather thin and carries a predominant nutty character. Taste is nutty and earthy, with a moderate hops presence and almost no malt sweetness. I don’t know much about the style, but for a beer in general this one is rather thin.

UPDATED: MAR 25, 2007 Draught
Bright brown color, small white head. Fresh, fruity, menthol, caramel and toffee aroma. Malty, caramelly body. Dry finish. Typical alt. (6/4/5/3/12 3.0)
Re-rated, bottle (BB 05/2007)
Ruby red color, creamy off-white head, lace. Mainly papery malty aroma with roasted caramelly notes. Grassy hoppy, lightly caramelly malty flavor. Leaves dry cardboard malty aftertaste. Not very solid alt, bottle should propably be freshier. (4/4/3/2/10 2.3)

(Tapped) Clear, light-coke colored with a smallish head. Quite miid, sweetish caramel-malty, slightly smoked aroma with some sourness. Somewhat roasted-malty, plasticky, slightly metallic, dry at first but sweetish towards the end. Medium-bodied, quite dry palate with balanced carbonation.
