JohnnyJ (2875) - San Diego, California, USA - JUL 8, 2007
On tap. Pour is brown/black with light tan head. Sweet and malty with some roastiness and chocolate. Shares similarities with porter and dark bock.

detroiter (958) - Euphoria, Minnesota, USA - JAN 15, 2007
Pours a slightly muddy brown, topped by half an inch of light tan foam. Decent head retention, moderate lacing. Mild sweet chocolate in the aroma – but more like a brown ale than an altbier. More of that sweet chocolate in the flavor, and a touch of raisin. Both of these flavors start strong enough, but finish on the meek side. Low hop presence, not a lot of character added. Just shy of medium bodied, carbonation also on the mild side.

robertsreality (2460) - Minnesota, USA - OCT 7, 2004
Black Coloring. Tan Head. Thick on the Tongue. Nice Malt and Roasts Come Out. Hoppy End With some Bitter...Little Dry. Much Better Then the Regular Alt. Good Character.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - OCT 4, 2004
Black color with a foamy head. Dry barley aroma. Very rich and malty taste with an odd hit of syrup at the end. Quite enjoyable.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 3, 2003
Dark mohagany with a tight tan head. Dark malt and hint of DMS. Roasted malt flavors. Light and spritzy. Somewhat like a dark lager/porter mix.
