| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 29, 2007 This is one of my go to brews. Darker than a pale ale, and more flavor really. Something of a nutty aroma with a darker finish. Not so smooth, but does the job. hapjydeuce (767), Del Mar, California, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 24, 2007 Dark lager, are you kidding me? Metallic aroma with weak hint of hay and malt. Watered down flavor with more metal and a horrible attempt to place cinnamon and caramel dark malt tones behind the beer’s flavor. Cant expect much though, its pretty much cosmopolitan. Plus, they try to make you feel all fuzzy inside by giving the story about the "little brewery in Spoetzl" when, in fact, this is nowhere near a craft brew. theshocker (329), Marietta, Georgia, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Sep 23, 2007 This beer is not a bock. Its an American lite lager with a darkening agent added that adds color but minimal flavor. Like all beers made is Texas, it sucks. Drinkable, but sucks. PsionSaint (51), Colorado, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 23, 2007 Middle of the road beer for me - it’s the "normal" beer I serve to guests at parties since I’ll still drink the left-overs. Decent flavor if a little thin, lighter brown color, and only slightly bitter. obguthr (1010), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 0.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 2/20 | Sep 21, 2007 Weak aroma that smells like tinny beans. Looks like watered down soda, but with a thick off white head. Extremely watery, faint taste of beans. Tinny finish. Their black lager is decent, but this is dreadfully bad. I wouldn’t even shandy this it’s so watery. fawman101 (7), College Station, Texas, USA does not count | 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 14, 2007 A personal favorite, although I am biased. Slightly watery would be my only complaint. glennmastrange (836), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 13, 2007 Bottle. Toasted and nutty was the only outstanding aromas, hops smelled of grass, and soap for the yeast. Head is frothy/fizzy, white, which is mostly lasting then fully diminishing after five minutes with no lacing. Color is clear light brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then finishes lightly acidic and very slightly bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and just a touch creamy, with soft carbonation. A middle of the road beer with nothing great but nothing offensive.
