Feb 2, 2009 Appearance: Pours a hazy, walnut brown body with a thin, wispy, white head.
Smell: Aroma smelling of underperforming dark, nutty malts, light raisin fruitiness, and a pinch of hot chocolate mix.
Taste: Mild maltiness displays an overall nuttiness and flavor of clearance aisle cocoa powder. Lightly sweet. Minor apple and raisin fruitiness. Faintly floral hops and bitterness. Though it was always light, the vague, unsweetened chocolate flavor is what you’re left with on the drying, crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium, fine carbonation.
Drinkability: Take it or leave it. I was hoping for more toasted bread qualities, but it kept giving me nuts! It’s shrug-inducingly acceptable, but when shopping for a dunkel, I prefer Ayinger’s Altbairisch Dunkel. That’s just me though!

Jan 31, 2009 Smells of dark roasted coffee malts and faint floral hops. Taste is similar to smell, well-balanced coffee malts with a pleasant hop back. Very nice dark lager.

Jan 19, 2009 Bottled Aug week 4. Poured dark brown with an off-white head. Aromas of burnt malts. The flavor is much more subdued malts. Light body. Just OK.

Jan 11, 2009 Dude sniffed it and said it had some poop in there. I think I picked it up. Kind of malty and crappy. Really thin. Not horrible for a dunkel, but you could do better.

Jan 2, 2009 12oz bottle from the mix pack. Pours medium brown with a half inch off-white head. Roasty coffee aroma with some hop and lots of malt. Malty flavor with roasty coffee and hop finish.

Jan 1, 2009 Pleasant sweet malt aroma. Mahogany pour, large tan head, well retained, ring after ring of lace on the glass, effervescent. Clean malt backbone, bread crusts and nuts mostly, somewhat sweet, some citrus on the finish. Somewhat thin in the body, but very drinkable. A superior session lager.
