May 24, 2008 Excellent beer, gets it all spot on. Pours dark chocolate brown with a tan fine tan head that lasts quite a while leaving some good lacing. Aroma is predominantly chocolate malts, roast malts and a hint of coffee.
Flavour is very good with the aromas coming in to the flavour mix along with some toffee sweetness and some slight graininess of the roasted malts coming through. What impresses me most is that the body is rich and full for a 4.% ABV beer, normally there would be a hole in the palate range but this is spot on, no wateriness or thinness at all. Finally the finish is quite long a pleasant, mainly coffee with a touch of prune in there.

Apr 24, 2008 Pours a clear dark amber with a foamy tan head that leaves some nice lacing. Roasted malt and nut aroma. Some caramel in the flavor. Sweeter and lighter tasting than I expected. Fairly dry finish. I enjoyed this beer a lot.

Apr 10, 2008 Average German style Dunkel. Would like to see a bit more caramel flavors in this one. The dunkel character seemed muted in this brew. Still better than the the vast majority of US attempts at the style, but a bit disappointing for a German edition.
