Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Ins Glas ergiesst sich ein dunkelbraunes Bier mit leichtem Rotstich, und einer mehr als herrlichen Krone. Cremefarbend und langlebig steht sie im Glas. Der Geruch ist stark Röstmalzig mit einer leicht süßmalzigen Note im Hintergrund. Der Antrunk ist sehr stark röstmalzig und ein wenig süß. Vor allem der Nachgeschmack hallt sehr lange röstmalzig und leicht karamellig nach. Das Bier besitzt nur wenig Kohlensäure.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle 33 cl) Very dark brown with a reddish head. Very full, malty body with some slightly burned notes. Not much bitterness. An unusual beer somewhere in the borderland between Dunkel and Bock, but with the rather low alcohol I vote for the former. 050401

Düsseldorf Gathering, Bottled. Very nice surprise and quality brew. Caramel and German hops in the aroma of course. Brown color, beige fine looking head, good lace. Maltsweet, light roasted, chocolater, herbal. Full, well balanced and more complex than most Dunkels.

A nice surprise from this local brew, small caramel head, very warming flavor, lots of sweet coffee taste, dark gold color. A bit of a porter taste, but not as heavy! A very good beer, will drink again!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(bottle, with many thanks to Saarlander) Clear, dark amber colour with a beautiful and persistent foamy beige head. Slightly sweet and toasty malt aroma with a touch of cacao and a rural barnyard note. Sweet flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Dark malty, slightly toasty taste with light notes of cacao; dry, malty and slightly bitter finish. Pretty rounded and likeable brew.
