3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAY 23, 2008 Big frothy head, strong malt taste and aftertaste. Very smooth and drinkable for a dark thick beer.
Re-rate 5-23-08: This beer is sadly a shadow of its former self. Much thinner and less flavorful than I remember. Too bad they had to ruin such a good thing. I am actually afraid to try the Special Amber again!

I had this beer at the Sprecher brewery about six years ago and took four bottles back to Minneapolis to savor. My rating is based on faulty memory. I remember it being rich and malty, without being overly sweet. I remember it as being nearly the best that I tasted at Sprecher .

Yes, one of Sprechers best. Its to bad they changed the recipe a few years ago. It was even better then.

Very malty. Nice biscuit and chocolate flavors. A littel thin. A pretty good beer but im not much of a lager guy.

Basically exactly what I expected...strong caramel/chocolate malt flavor but a thin body. Smooth but too thin to be a clasic in my book.

Creamy, flavorful, delicious beer. Awesome brewing.

Sprecher’s best... and near World Class. Bracing and soothing at the same time. The maltiness is amazing, the aroma like toast. The real strong stuff.

Barely translucent. Aroma of coffee and chocolate malt. Exceptionally clean roasted malty taste. A very good dark lager.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Alternating rolls of sweet (tofee) and bitter (coffee) in a proud dark brew.
