Darker than I expected with a name like that. A little chocolate, not really lager-like flavor (missing that distinctive lager character)

Reddish-amber colour with a quickly dissipating head. Toasted malkt aroma and sweet malt flavour. It actually seems more bock or vienna-like to me. Not nearly dry enough to be a dunkel.

More of a black bier than a dunkel... not as much malt. Light and drinkable.

Pjones6738 (500) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 24, 2002
Nice creamy head, brownish red color. Thin coffee scent. Light coffee taste, with not much else to it.

JMerritt (1602) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - AUG 24, 2002
Dark red in color, small head that disappeared rather quickly. Aroma was of roasted coffee. Flavor was coffee-ish, and a bit sweet, but finished extremely watery and bland. It had the beginnings of a hop bite, but only the beginnings. Sadly, I was not overly impressed. This is not a bad beer by any means, but it’s nothing to have more than once. Cool artwork on the label, though...

PhillyBeer2112 (2361) - Oviedo, Florida, USA - JUL 15, 2002
A Rush inspired name? Probably not. I mised the fine print IDing this as a Munich Dunkel, so I expected this to be a light lager of some sort. Imagine my surprise when I saw this dark stuff pouring out of the bottle. This has an excellent toasty toffee aroma. Its a clean aroma that isn’t overdone. Small head - no retention...dark red-brown. Nice clean and crisp malt with caramel toffee flavors. Better balanced than their other beers.

burgundy beige head. thin, first i had of the H.C. Berger Variety Pack. unimpressive
