Yeasty, cocoa aroma. nice taste , subtle sweet caramel chocolate flavors with nice bite. Quick mild aftertaste, no bite. Very good. thooper41 (384), Oregon, USA Dec 26, 2008 12oz bottle: Appearance is pitch black with slow fading tan head, aroma is a very faint hint of roasted malt, flavor is of roasted malt and a hint of coffee. I would have no clue this is a lager tastes and looks more like a stout not bad but pretty simple, fidelis83 (707), Clinton, Iowa, USA Dec 16, 2008 Pours and ever so slightly hazy beer bottle brown with almost no head-suspicious. Aroma has plenty of toffee and caramel character, a little roast and some herbal hops. Flavor is a little roast and toffee, along with some grassy and herbal hops. The body is thin and syrupy. McGarnigle (302), Rochester, New York, USA Dec 4, 2008 Bottle dated late August. Dark brown color, but still translucent. Not much aroma. Very light roast quality if any. Not a whole lot of flavor. Seems more like food coloring added to a lighter lager. blipp (1630), Newark, New Jersey, USA Nov 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours copper with a beige head. Lightly sweet aroma with a bit of grain. The flavor has lightly sweet caramel with a touch of roasted malt. Not bad. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Oct 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a clear dark brown color with orange light shining through. The head was off white with a distinct yellow tint. It reduced relatively quickly to a thin lasting film. Smelled of brown sugar and toffee with a whiff of coffee. Medium bodied and semi-sweet. The brown sugary flavor was a little too sugary for me. Malty toffee and some dark fruit also emerged. Not bad. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Oct 10, 2008 A typical blah dark lager.There really wasnt much life in it.Poured dark with a malty nose.Flavor was bitter with hints of chocolate.nothing special here. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 10, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is malty, light maple-cured ham. Dark brown body, thin light tan head. Flavor is malt, caramel, light fruit, fortunately not too sweet. Balanced finish. Very nice.
