nigos (623) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - SEP 13, 2004
Dark black hue with a creamy off white head. Light aroma of roasted malt. Porter like taste with roasted, toasty malt and coffee hints medium body with a long finish. Decent dark beer.

i liked the cap - reminded me of the old coopers days. pretty big aroma of stout wort, surprisingly roasted. dark with a purple tinge, plenty of bitterness, no real surprise from jever and quite a roasty taste but more of roasted grain than chocolate or coffee

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - APR 18, 2004
A dark brown beer with a fine chocolate brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, licorice, straw, and malt. The flavor is grainy sweet with notes of caramel, nuts, and hints of licorice. It has a very bitter end both coming from bitter hops and roasted malt. A very nice Schwarzbier.

dirkbreedveld (286) - NETHERLANDS - APR 16, 2004
Dark color, almost porterlike. Nice longneckbottle with a unique capsule. But the beer is to rich of CO2 to drink it from the bottle. The taste is dry, roasted malts, with a hind leftover sugars, and in the aftertaste some bitters and bayleave tones.

Black, almost opaque colour. Nice white head vanishing slowly. Aroma has some hops. Flavor is like sweet dunkel with bitter hops thrown in, giving some bitter aftertaste.

Kalli (502) - Falun, SWEDEN - FEB 29, 2004
Not much to the colour, but an okay head. Sweetish caramel aroma, carries into the flavour, where there's but a hint of roasting. I've hardly ever gotten a dark lager worth mentioning, but this one was probably the best of them. Only one I'd be okay with drinking.
