4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
"Beer appears to be dark brown and can only be seen through when held up the light, I did a crappy pour and ended up with a four inch high cap that won’t go away and dam is it noisy I can hear it from five feet away. Wow what a freaking awesome aroma I’m completely surprised, coffee and very rich smooth malts a touch of chocolate, the aroma is mild making me smell it harder, this is just pure roasted malt goodness. This brew is tasty very tasty , rich and smooth roasted malts the flavor is sweet but is balanced perfectly with a touch of bitter coffee. So complex with every sip I taste something new, milk chocolate, berries, some metallic qualities, slight dirt. Simply shocked about how good this brew was, dammit to bad it’s a thirteen hour drive away from where I picked this up. This is just so complex, smooth and delicious my marks for this seem so over the top but they are what they are its plain fawking awesome. This is the best product to come out of Poland since the screen door on the submarine."

500ml bottle served in a Bell’s dimpled mug. Clear ruby/brown pour with a two-finger thick head of rocky tan foam. Decent retention and lacing. The aroma included sweet caramel, dark fruits, and toasted bread. The flavor had sweet malts, toasted caramel, and a hint of campfire. Malty, but thin and somewhat metallic. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. A slight step up from Warsteiner’s dunkel, but it still tastes very industrial.

Clear brown with no head. Aroma is light caramel and mellow spice. Taste is sweet, and a little rice. Smooth, not bad but not great.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Underrated brew. Pours a brown with a ruby hue and a tan film of head. Sweet earthy aroma- very light peat character with dark caramel and chocolaty sweet notes- clean. Light silky body- nice malt depth- dark caramelized notes and light toasted toffee note mesh with a smoky/peat character. Sweet, but its soft and balanced by the mild smokiness. Remains refreshing despite its rich maltiness. Nice!

16.9 ounce bottle from Greenlife Grocery in Asheville, NC. Pours a clear ruby tinted cola brown with a large creamy head. Aroma is roasted malts, smoke, chocolate. Taste is sweet malts, almost cloying but not quite, very light roast and a finish of dark fruits. Thin-medium bodied.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500ml bottle. Dark brown, nearly black with ruby highlights and a smallish head. Aroma is strong munich malt, very bready and a touch roasty, with some dark fruits lurking in the background. Not the rauchbier I figured I was getting, c’mon the label is on fire, what the hell? Sweet and malty with lots of dark fruits (figs, prunes, dates) and a touch of roast at the finish. This seems like a pretty dark dunkel, but I know they can get that way. All and all an easy drinking beer that shows a lot of nice malt character and is fairly quaffable.
