3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Black/brown with a grayish/off white cap. Simple flavor and aroma of lightly smoked malt and subtle spice. Light/medium body, well carbonated. Nice session brew.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark, dark garnet color, yet clear and not quite opaque. Brief antique lace head that gets thin and coats the glass. Smokey sweet caramel taste, like a Bavarian smoked lager although not as mouth-coating and cloying. Very little in the way of hop bitterness. This is a thinner version of their porter with smokiness added and w/o the ABV kick. Pretty decent brau!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep brown color with a medium head. Kind of a cardboardy yet toffee aroma. Sweet malt taste, but with a musty and semi-moldy aftertaste. Not enough to ruin it completely, but it definitely dampens my enthusiasm for it.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle, dark with ruby tints and a thin tan head. A subtle roasted aroma with hints of chocolate. Carbonated and sweet, molasses-like flavour and a very sweet finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
The aroma is sweet with toasted malt and chocolate but is weaker than it should be. The appearance is dark brown with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma and is moderately bitter. The palate is thin and the aftertaste is sweet toasted malt and chocolate. Overall it’s not that great but it has one really nice finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured out very dark with tan head. Light aroma of roasted and burnt malts. Not exactly the Black Patent I’m used to smelling in Porters. Something else. Very nice burnt malts and roasted malt flavor mixed with some sweet caramel malts. Really nice combination of flavors makes for a tastier than average Dunkel.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pour is a dark black with a small tan head. Aroma is of slight roasted malts but it is vary faint. Flavor is a roasted smoke flavor but its is also super sweet. Leaves a odd taste on the tounge after the swallow. Deffinatly have never had anything like this and prob don’t want another.
4.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Found this one bottled at Binny’s Oktoberfest in St. Charles, Illinois. Dark brown, nearly black pour with a foamy tan head. Nose of coffee and charcoal, sweetness of dark chocolate throughout. This was a surprise.
