Grima (1119) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - FEB 5, 2012
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!
Im Glas schön dunkel, mit einer extrem dunkelroten Färbung. Es riecht röst- und süßmalzig. Der Antrunk ist extrem herb. Sehr ungewohnt bei einem Dunklen. Die leichte Süße vom Geruch kommt im Geschmack gar nicht zur Geltung. Der Nachgeschmack hallt sehr lange nach, und zwar leicht bitter, aber angenehm. Zum Mittelteil hin wird’s etwas brotig und getreidig.

Kristall-König (1552) - Oldenburg, GERMANY - JUL 8, 2011
Röstmalzig im Geruch - etwas metallisch. Geschmacklich eine kräftige Malz-Kaffeenote untermalt mit leichter Herbe. Im Abgang steigert sich die Herbe und hält lange vor. Gut gemachtes Dunkel. Leider auch von einer gewissen Wässrigkeit. Trotzdem noch ganz gut.Test vom 17.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche

Koelschtrinker (6544) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 12, 2011
Schmeckt fein herb, das ändert sich jedoch recht schnell zu einm typischen Schwarzbier Geschmack. Im großen und ganzen ganz ordentlich. Test vom 21.9.2004, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,9,9,8,6,9 - 8,50

ekstedt (3624) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - DEC 6, 2009
Bottle (33 cl), thanks gnoff for this rare beer at the brink of extinction. Dark reddish brown, small beige head. Grainy and sugary with some roasted notes. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Initially sweet, dry finish. These sugary scharzbiers are not my thing.
