opaque brown with ruby highlights, thin tan head, sweet chocolate malt aroma and flavor, very little bitterness, clean lager character, tasty but I guess I prefer the rough edge of an ale or maybe a touch of hops

Sep 27, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with DavidP (thanks!). Poured a dark brown (almost a dark, dark orange) color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, and light nuts. Tastes of roast, toasted malts, light chocolate and caramel. Thinner body.

Sep 12, 2006 Bottle... Clear, dark amber lager with a mid-sized, fizzy, khaki head. Terrific retention. The subtle nose lends modest notes of caramel and cocoa. Light, refreshing flavor. The spicy, citric hops balance the dark malts very well. Nearly medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Thin, watery finish. Refreshing, at least. Kudos to headbanger for shipping the bottle!

Jan 16, 2002 A sweet, malty Milwaukee classic. Refreshing and smooth, but a bit watery for a dark beer.

Jan 4, 2005 Pours a dark amber. Strong coffee aroma with sweet malty undertones. Small head, moderate carbonation. Flavor slightly tangy, one of the better dunkels I’ve had.

Dec 23, 2003 Dark brown with some red light coming through. Small tan head. Aroma of old coffee, hay and some cream. Starts out as a regular beer, some mild hay and coffee flavors, but the end of the drink and the finish is pretty nice. Robust and bold chocolate malts show up, as well as some bitterness with a harsh coffee flavor.

Apr 8, 2008 Deep brown-amber beer, creamy tan head. Aroma is sweet and toasty with a kiss of cocoa. Fairly bready/toasty flavour with a lingering bready character. Lightly floral/spicy hop character. Fairly clean and straightforward, but it is quite nice. Lingering herbal bitterness.
