envane (251), Evanston, Illinois, USA Jan 24, 2004 Somewhat dry, roasty tmave. Strictly middle of the raod, but easily beat the Beck Dark I had after this. Retired? Must have been very recent. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA Jan 5, 2004 A nice, rather dry and roasty dunkel from the Czech Republic that I've heard of for years but never seen until a recent trip to California's BevMo. A touch nutty and not terribly sweet. It's almost a porter, I'd say, due to its roastiness. OK, but I wouldn't seek it out again. Braudog (3733), Dayton, Ohio, USA Jan 1, 2004 Retired? Poured dark black with sticky tan head and toffee aroma. Smoky wood flavors on a smooth beer ... quite nice. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA Dec 25, 2003 This was actually quite tasty to me. A nice bitter roastedness, with some light coffee notes in places, otherwise, it had a very toasted oat, breakfast cereal taste at times. Somewhat inconsistent and unbalanced, maybe it was an old bottle, but I still found it to be enjoyable. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Oct 18, 2003 Bottle. A hint of roasted grains and a slightly sweet nose. Very dark beer with a small beige head. The flavor is toasted grains but then disapears to a watery beer. A slight lingering roastiness, but not much else. You'll wish for a bit more flavor. JoeM500 (1876), Chicago (little italy), Illinois, USA Sep 29, 2003 Dark, almost ruby tint with no head to speak of. Roasty vanilla nose. Slightly acidic but roasty throughout, some hints of alcohol and a long sweet lactic finish. jaymobrown (1343), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 26, 2003 Dark with only a sliver of head. Glimpses of red around the corners. Milk chocolate with the same moutfeel -- smooth. Tastes and feels like a milk stout. JMerritt (1313), Macomb, Illinois, USA Sep 16, 2003 Dark brown with a small off-white head. Molasses aroma with pine resin and toffee intermingled. Extremely light sweetness in initial flavor. Light body, watery texture. Not bad, just not very flavorful.
