A nice dark lager. A sort of bitter aftertaste but not too strong, good color and aroma.
5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20 doctor (4) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - MAY 1, 2002 does not count
This is the epitome of dark beer. Smooth malty easy drinking dunkel. With Pork Knuckle it just doesn’t get any better. My all time favourite.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 BillKismet (2762) - Seattle, Washington, USA - APR 26, 2002
Molasses amber appearance with a thick, frothy head. Rich doppelbock-like malts emanate from the glass. The medium-rich malting bursts with an initially sharp taste, but smooths out and virtually vanishes--a process renewed with each sip.

Another favorite from the homeland and one of the few I could get in the States. It was best on tap, it got a little more bitter in the bottle.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20 Ernest (5187) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - MAR 2, 2002
Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark brown. Aroma is moderately malty (roasted, mild coffee, dark bread). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly bitter. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20 Raaha (67) - Michigan, USA - FEB 22, 2002
It was a good beer. I don’t think it is Austria’s finest like they say. I had a couple better when I was in Ischgal. Still is a very good beer though. I will probably buy more. Hard to find good beer here. I think warsteiner Dunkel is better though.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 bubslang (438) - Kentwood, Michigan, USA - FEB 18, 2002
Not really a lager fan, but this was pretty decent, nice dark color, good flavor, good all-around drinking beer
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 heykevin (1269) - Decorah, Iowa, USA - FEB 12, 2002
Dark brown, sweet, and one dimensional. All I taste is caramunich/vienne malt and a sickly sweet finish. Not really enjoyable in any way.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 mutant (854) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 26, 2002
Good colour and aroma but thinnish and the only flavour is of ’dark’ (I can’t find the word), not much malt or hops. Low abv to compound the problem.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 twierz99 (15) - Minnesota, USA - JAN 26, 2002
A very good dark beer. Not a very strong palate, but very good flavor. I will buy more.
