2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 ounce bottle into a pint glass, amber with a thin tan head. Aroma was light roast malt. Taste was mainly caramel and sweet malt. Water mouthfeel. Not too bad overall.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
12 oz clear glass bottle. Poured a clear light brown/dark orange color. Head was thin and off white without any staying power. Aroma was of malty caramel and soy sauce, but reminded me a bit of dog food at times. Dry on the tongue with a thin, watery mouth feel. Tasted of malty caramel and a touch of toasted bread. Very thin, not great.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Picked up a 12-oz clear bottle. Oh oh, hope this one does not turn out to be "Skunky." Pours a clear copper brown brew (could use some more dark malt to be considered a dark beer) with a think, fast dissolving head. Lacing is fair. Aroma of bubblegum, brown sugar, some caramel and sweet flowery hops. Taste is sweet on the tongue, some caramel and a light citrus aftertaste. A little extra carbonation on the palate but still within a "dunkel" category.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sample from 12 oz bottle. Dark brown amber colour with a fizzy off-white head. Strong aroma of molasses and fruit. Light dry, toasty caramel flavour but mostly bland. Light bodied and dry. Reminiscent of Abita Turbodog.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
It seems to me that this is a ’throwback’ beer, to a time in the 60’s when you were lucky to get anything but the macros.
It’s not very dark by today’s standards. Clear copper with a medium, rocky head. Little lace. Aroma is sweet malts, with roast and caramel in there. Very little hops in aroma or taste. Medium body (at best). Roasted malt finish.

1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
If this is supposed to be a good dunkel, then I don’t like dunkels. Attractive, yes, but seriously lacking in the other, perhaps even more important catagories. Very slight, semi-sweet aroma, and a watery, somewhat sweet, caramel malt flavor. Watery, and quite boring. I seriously doubt I’ll ever have another one of these.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: AUG 27, 2007 Sampled from a 12 oz clear bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a small tan head. The aroma is sour tangy macro malts. The flavor is sour and tangy macro malts with a long smooth middle and a slightly bitter finish. Somewhat bland but quite drinkable.
