3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 12 oz bottle. Very dark copper pour, nice soft khaki colored head which leaves light lacing. Sweet, sugary, cotton candy-like aroma with some ripening vegetable accents. Lots of caramel in the flavor. Maple syrup accents in the back end, some cotton candy. Could be cloying, but its not. Nice, thickish, rich mouthfeel. Glad I bought a six of this.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Hmmm. I remember really liking this a lot when I first tried it at the Concordia club in 2002, whilst watching the GErmans down the Saudis 8-0. I suppose I mustn’t have tried many decent dark beers at that time, because it seems pretty ho-hum now. Sweetness is about right, some nuttiness and malty character, caramel at a stretch.

Brown with copper highlights, minimal head. Aroma and taste are similar, classic dunkel: toasted grain, nuttiness, chocolate. Nice and simple but effective.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Malty aromas of toasted dark bread start right off with herbs, dough, and cooked root vegetables behind it. Head is frothy white and is moslty diminishing with fair lacing and the color is clear brown. Flavor is both lightly sweet and acidic to start and moderately bitter in the finish. Palate is light to medium, watery and it has a lively carbonation. Though not bad, especially in the smell, it’s a little lacking in taste.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a red hue and a small head. Light sweet malt aroma. Mild nutty, toasted malt flavors. Light mouthfeel, high carbonation. No finish. Overall refreshing, but lacking complexity.
2.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
0.5L bottle. Almost no aroma at all, some faint hoppiness, dark brown colour, strong and dominating flavours of roasted coffee. smmoth and easy to drink but unimpressive.
