3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. A decent Dunkel though an original one. Not so flatk like many examples of the style. Has some fruits and smoke and roast and malt. Not outstanding but one wants to repeat this experience.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
nice amount of tan head, nice dark colour, almost ruby. lotsa choc malts on this one kinda thin but still a pleasant flavour, tiny bit of biterness, slight smokyness. Good beer, i even remember it. I was told this is very important!! ha!
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours near black with a bubbly, quickly dissipating head. Smells like malt, prunes, hazelnuts, and something vaguely citrusy. Flavor is like the letdown version of the aroma - just sweet malts and the pruniness, very little depth. Kind of thin tasting overall - with a little more oomph to it I think it’d be pretty good. Finishes dry with a bit of a smokey aftertaste. Decent, easy fall/winter drinking though.

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2007 chocolate, nuts, sweet roasted malt(very good), nuts dark brown almost black, Tastes better in winter, full rounded taste, first seemed watery but later the sense disappears, good brew although sometimes feels the alcohol
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Musty smokey malt with rasin, carmel, a sort of lemon like sourness to balance the sweetness. A dunkel or barvarian black larger. It remined me a little of lion sweet stout in the taste and packaging.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
The body is dark brown to black with a fluffed up tan head that is two fingers thick and fades slowly.
<P>
Aroma is smokey with notes of muted chocolate, raisin, cotton and loam.

Fore is sweet raisin accented and lightly smokey. A smoked Dunkel then. Works for me and I don’t like smoked beers. The overarching flavor profile is sweet malts and raisins...the smoke is on the outskirts.
<P>
I love the whole FIRE BREWED marketing. A nice contrast to the Ice Brewed craze of the 90’s in the US and Canada.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a deep dark amber/ light brown with a thin white head. Aroma is toasty and woody with hints of smoke and char- nutty and light chocolate. Wierd sharp light chocolate and caramel with woody and campfire smoke- mineral-like and dry finish. Ok overall- somewhat unique- couldnt quite figure out what kind of style this was.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
dark ruby-mahogany color, ruby amber at edges. head is tall and fluffy, medium tan. aroma is syrupy molasses malt, a little caramel. flavor is kind of the same, sweetish malt with some llicorice candy, syrupy roasted caramel. finishes out more dry and bitter.
