Bottle from six-style mixed pack pours a dark, reddish brown with a tan head that quickly fades but leaves some lacing along the glass. The aroma consists of roasted malts, hazlenut, and burnt sugar/caramel. Flavor is full and sweet from the malts but some bitterness provided by the presence of hops. The carbonation give a nice bite on the tongue.

On tap at the brewery. Ruby dark brown with a beige head, Slightly roasted nutty aroma. Has a nice roasted and anise flavor that gets better as it warms. Nice, but not very german.

BoTM, Pours a nice dark brown. Slight tan head. A sweet malty odor, with some kind of funk aftersmell. I opened up a second one just to make sure it wasn’t a bad bottle but I get something off with both. Not a lot of flavor, but what’s there is nice. Not to overpowering, a nice gentle beer.

Nice brown color with a frothy tan head. Almost looked like root beer. Had a nice malty flavor with a slight caramel taste. Not too bad!

The epitome of an average beer. No real flavor, aroma or taste.... but no bad ones either. Its almost like its just not there.
