Reddish-golden colour. Light aroma is mainly caramel. Soft and malty on the palate but aside from vague caramel there isn’t much nuance. Somewhat thing, especially for the style, and the finish disappears.

poured a medium brown hue with a bone color head, mild lacing. A bread like aroma with hints of sweetness. Flavor was somewhat balanced between bread notes and some caramel notes. palate was weak. smooth in the finish.

From a 12 fl. oz. (US) bottle with no expiration date or lot number noted. Pours an amber-brown with a beige head. Light malts are evident in the aroma along with a tad of coffee. Stronger malt flavor. Overall not bad.

Bottle; poured a brownish-amber with short lived head. Aroma of caramel, nuts, cocoa and earth. Flavor was way too watery. Some decent caramel and nutty hints; but they were ust way too hidden. Really weak effort regardless of the style.

(12oz bottle) Clear amber body topped by small beige head, decent lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, brown sugar, some candi sugar, toasted caramel. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, seltzer. Watery light-medium body. Bleah!

bottle poured into a snifter is chestnut brown in color with a frothy one finger head that slowly melted. smell is roast, malt, alcohol, and some grain. taste is on the thin side little mid pallet leads on to a finish with a roasted bitterness. nothing stands out and makes this beer, not as good as there others i have tried.

Fading off-white head covers the cloudy medium brown shade. Immediately yeasty, almost belgianesque nose travels through earthiness before settling upon safer caramelly grounds. It kinda fails at procuring the expected toastiness, stays hesitant, does not quite attack the fruit plate and just does not seem very undertaking. Unclean example that certainly lacks the polished german savoir-faire.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and cloudy amberish / brownish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of roasted and toasted nuts, caramel, and earthy. Tastes of toasted caramel, roast, and earthy. Thinner tastes and thinner body.

Poured a translucent brown with a frothy white head. Nose was malt and sugar, but very subtle. Flavor was very grainy with a touch of chocolate. Finish really highlights the biscuit nature of the beer, but is a little weak and watery. This was drinkable, and likely a good session beer, but certainly unremarkable.

Copper colored, metallic, almost alcoholic aroma. Weak and thin bodied for me, flavor is subtle, flavors do not stand out at all for what I expected. On par with Magic Hat and Sam.
