michael-pollack (1319), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 22, 2008 750ml Bottle: Sweet aroma. Smells of dark ripe fruits, malts, nuts, grains, and caramel.
Poured dark amber in color with a small to medium-sized, off-white head that diminished quickly. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is medium to heavily sweet. Tastes of malts, dark ripe fruits, caramel, dough, and a hint of spicy pepper. Medium body. Dry texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet, malty finish.
Theis (1922), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 8, 2008 Bottle at CPH (Airport). Clear nutbrown - white head. Nutty, caramel, light metallic, berries, fruity, sweetness, light hoppy. Plain. biggmike (392), Gulfport, Mississippi, USA Jul 7, 2008 Poured a reddish-brown color with little head that dissipated rather rapidly. Aroma is not real strong, but has a somewhat sweet malty smell. Taste is also malty and sweet with hints of caramel and nuts. Little if any hop presence. Mouthfeel is okay, felt a bit on the thin side. Beer is okay, but not worth what I paid for it.
BillKismet (1361), Seattle, Washington, USA Jun 16, 2008 Not so dark for a "dark lager," as this one poured an amber-orange with a thick, tan head. Nice German malt and hersbrucker hop aromas. Easy drinking quality that is a lighter version of an Italian doppelbock, such as Birra Moretti. Some malt ball aroma and flavor. I liked this one. Flavorful and wonderfully drinkable. kwoeltje (1180), Manchester, Missouri, USA Jun 7, 2008 (750 ml bottle) medium brown with light brown head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is sweet caramel malt. A nice dunkel really. Pinball (260), Allerød, Denmark Jun 4, 2008 not much of an aroma. Looks nice except for the fact that the head is non-existant. taste is nuts, caramel, malts. quite okay acutally. Session beer with a good taste, okay, but not distinguisable from most other such beers.
