Bottle. Dark brownish-amber. Aroma was chocolate-coffee, slight hay and grass. Flavor was really too burnt. Pleasant flavor though. Overall I liked it.

A deep dark dunkel with a thin brown head. In aroma, nice smooth fruity malt with dark fruits, chocolate, surprising, close to a porter. In mouth, a smooth fruity malt with dark fruits, light peated notes, chocolate, porter-like.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Norm's, 6/6/12

Aroma: The nose is sweet, with notes of caramel, chocolate, wheat, toffee, fruit, and cookie dough
Appearance: It pours a dark-brown black color with a fizzy, lasting, medium brown head
Flavor: Tastes moderate-plus sweet, with some later spicy/peppery flavors, and a slightly acidic finish
Palate: It is extremely over-carbonated (to the point of being hard to drink), with a dry, acidic finish
Overall Impression: This was some weird stuff, I got a little more complexity from the nose then the flavor, and I also felt that the components of the nose were more interesting (and worked better as a whole) then what came across in the flavor. Either way, the beer itself was decent, but the body killed it for me. It borders on undrinkable, which is a shame, because the rest of the beer was significantly better. I ended up here, but the score could have a gone a few different ways for sure.

12oz bottle. Opaque brown-black. Thinnish, patchy, beige head. Quite interesting chocolate fruitcake aroma. Really reminiscent of a lot of really great dark beers, but sort of falls short. Roasty, watery chocolate flavors, light cranberry/raspberry tones. Very drinkable, quite enjoyable. More like a fruity Porter than a Dunkelweizen. Watery body, a little insipid, but redeems itself with a nice balance. OK.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color, small tan head. Aroma is dark caramel, fruity yeast notes, something else sweet in there I couldn’t quite place. Flavor is sweet caramel notes, with notes of yeast and bread notes. I can see its flaws, but enjoyed it a lot.

Bottle. Pours a hazy dark amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity wheat malty caramle aroma with chocolate hints. Fruity wheat malty caramel flavor with spicy hints. Has a fruity wheat malty spicy caramel finish.

Very hazy and chunky muddy brown coloured body with a large frothy tan head. Aroma of malt, light spices, a touch of earth, some minor fruits and even more malt - potent. Medium-bodied; Assertive malt flavours with some sweetness soon afterwards and a good earthy, nutty flavour that lasts quite a while. Aftertaste shows more malt than anything else, a touch of alcohol and fruits with the muddy earthie notes behind. Overall, a nice dunkel with perhaps more of a focus on the malt than the other complexities, but a nice beer nonetheless. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Bon Vivant Market in Smithfield, Virginia on 14-October-2010 for US$2.25 sampled at home in Upstate New York (New Paltz) on 07-May-2011.

12 ounce bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, downtown, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy, almost muddy looking dark brown color. Thin fizzy offwhite head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, toffee, clove and a faint roastiness. The taste is lightly roasted malts, some toastiness, caramel, herbs, green banana, faint spicy notes. Medium bodied. Odd beast.

Overrripe apple nose. Cloudy brown, thick yellow head. Woody apple core flavor. Walnut finish. Watery mouthfeel. Decent.
