Pours amber with a mild head. Aroma is nutty, floral and roasted. Flavor starts sweet and a little nutty with a nice biiter kick. Mouthfeel is thin and carbonated. A nice uncomplicated brew.

Brown color with small head. Malty aroma and flavor with strange aftertaste which I can’t put my finger on. I don’t think I’ll ever want this again.

Sweet mild malty aroma with yeast and mild pleasant hoppiness. Clear dark brown with pillowy white large bubbled head that lasts nicely. Some lace. Lightly malty, slight charcoal finish. Fair biterness. Nicely balanced. Refreshing light body. Bottle (at Berlin restaurant).

Nice reddish-amber appearance with a large white head. Yeasty, slightly sweet, slightly floral. You could down a few of these and could have them with almost anything.

Deep brown color with a nice white head. Sweet malt aroma. Sweet flavor cut short but just a bit of hop flavor. Easy drinking beer.

Nutty, dry (astringent) taste. Brown in color. The aroma is vague, but is of hops. Be sure yours is fresh.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2004 Re-rate: Accidentally bought this a second time. It was in a box and not skunked. Aroma of bubblegum, apple and some slight citrus. Taste is smooth with caramel and a little yeast. Tasty. Original rating. Poured with a large soapy head. The aroma was slightly skunked with some apple. The color was dark brown with some red tints. Taste was unremarkable. I may have had a bad bottle, but nothing made me want to come back to this.

dark amber in appearence, white head. metallic skunky flavor, may have gotten a bad bottle.
