WesKBob (161), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Apr 18, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a thin, creamy head. Sweet aroma with lots of honey and malt. The flavor is very similar, with lots of sweetness and a strong honey flavor. Mouthfeel is smooth, but a little watery and overly carbonated. Not bad, but not something I’d go out of my way to buy again.
Rastacouere (5328), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 2, 2008 Draft @ Schmidts, Columbus German Village. A very sweet dunkel that reminded me of the least interesting Austrian example with its plummy notes, though the mineral side of this German rendition did seem out of place. After a few sip, it really tastes pretty much like raisin bread over which you’d throw a small amount of chocolate powder. Light-medium bodied, not so easy to drink as you may think. Fair, but I would not bother again. mpreston (10), Garland, Texas, USA Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. very cola looking. not bad at all. surpised i like it. not a fan of war. pilsner but this was good. piscator34 (936), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Canned sample. Cola coloured, with medium carbonation. Aromas of minerals, stale malts, and a bit of lemon. Flavors are of whole wheat toast, a bit of roasted malt, and a bit of red apple. Farily dry finishing, albeit somewhat chemical-like. Not nearly roasty or flavorful enough. blankboy (2608), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Can (500ml). Pours a deep ruby-amber with a large frothy tan head. Aroma’s mild, sweet, sugary and fruity along with caramel malt and a hint of roastiness. Flavour’s watery but not bad at all: Very lightly roasted malt, sweet, some nuts and a light bitter finish. A bit of sourness in there too. Light to average bodied. Not bad, it’s easy to drink and a decent effort from these guys. Bella68 (21), Alabama, USA Sep 26, 2008 I really enjoyed this. Poured from a bottle. Once I took a look and examined it, it looked like a root beer. This was my first impression. Once I tried it, I thought, "Wow. Not bad at all". Very easy to drink and smooth with no strong, bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied, rather malty.
