2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
bottle, poured into glass. Very dark, tastes rather light compared wit color. Probably one of the better austrian beers.

Bottle. Dark pour, though not pitch black. Decent malt taste gives it a decent body, though the sweetness evens it out quite a bit. I enjoyed this beer, though its not extraordinary.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Clear chestnut brown pour with a brown head. Aroma is light and slightly roasted with some hints of cookie dough, toffee, and some caramel. Flavor is sweet and roasty with some caramel and chocolate with a very smooth finish and a sweet and slightly bitter aftertaste. Not too bad.

Bottle, 4.5% in Rome. Weak caramel aroma. Mild bready flavour with a slightly roasted aftertaste and a hint of green apple. Clear dark brown colour. Unstable light brown head. Hint of sourness which does well to balance.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
The aroma is sweet with toasted malt, caramel, toffee, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. The appearance is a medium red/brown with a foamy three finger head. The flavor is like the aroma but with an astringent bitterness that comes out of nowhere since I don’t small any hops. The palate is refreshing and somewhat smooth but still to thin for me. This one came really close to greatness but the astringent bitterness really hurts it.

very refreshing beer, strong hint of honey that lingers through the finish. one of my new favorites
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled in Switzerland. Pour is dark and thick but aroma is slightly unpleasant. Goes down smooth and has a nice flavor. I had better beers but its the best austrian i have ever had.

12 oz bottle poured into a goblet glass. Pours with a decent head that quickly fades. Color is dark brown, medium clarity in the body. Aroma is pretty strong for a dunkel, full of roastiness and chocolate. Taste is clean with hints of roastiness, like a lagered light mild all the way. Creamy aftertaste with light malty sweetness. There is absolutely nothing off putting here, the beer seems to have been well conditioned. Just a nice sessionable beer.
