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. otismulligan (34), Yardley, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | 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 (713), Clinton, Iowa, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | 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.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | 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 (1641), Newark, New Jersey, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | 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
