EithCubes (4196) - New Jersey, USA - APR 20, 2012
UPDATED: JUL 26, 2012 Bottle by 08.02.13. Light chocolate and roast in the dusty nose. Chestnut with red highlights and a sudsy tan head. Thin, watery body with a medium acidic tang along with the roast and mocha, faint nuts under the vomit and red berry, sharp and not too enjoyable. [2.2][April 12, 2012]

Tap in Freising at Huber. A beautiful ruby body that darkens to black bu the top and then becomes a rocky tan head. Beautiful candy-caramel nose with lots of fruit. Taste moderately dry (well, at least not too sweet) with light caramel and roast, some mocha and brown sugar, an that fruit. Pretty clovey, spritz of citrus, light-medium body, classic and süffig. [3.6][July 24, 2012] What a difference!

rauchbierlover (449) - Roma, ITALY - MAR 24, 2013
500cl bottle. Brown body with a frothy beige head. Malty, caramel, all you desire in a dunkel can be found here. Too watery for my taste, otherwise it’s an average beer in its style

   AROMA 4/10   APPEARANCE 3/5   TASTE 4/10   PALATE 3/5   OVERALL 7/20
yngwie (10754) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - NOV 10, 2012
Bottle. It’s a clear, amber to light brown beer, topped by a small, dense, light beige head. The aroma is malty and bready, quite uninspiring, with some notes of dried fruits. The flavor is bready and malty, lightly toasted and with some yeast and dried fruits. Medium body, soft carbonation. Not much bitterness at any stage. A decent beer, sort of, but far from worth revisiting. 121110
