Bottle. Cardboardy and metallic nose. Pale golden, foamy head. Sweet malt base I did not expect from the aroma, ok bitter counter, hops are somewhat one-dimensional though. Sparkly, medium chewy mouthfeel. Quick finish.

Shared a can with Bullit. Never had the guts to buy this beer from the supermarket ;). But actually it’s not that bad. Clear yellow color, big white head. Aroma of some hop, bit floral. Bitter taste. Quite average.

Clear golden colour, big white lasting head. Flat aroma. Standard pilsener, not much of an aftertaste; moderately bitter.

Canned. Oh yay. Pale yellow colour with mediumsized white head, that disappears quite quick. Aroma is malts, earth, metal and some rather skunky hints. Flavour is pretty much quite the same. Out of balance and not very pleasant is my doom for this beer.

Didn’t care much for the regular DAB. This is darker but not really dark. No head. Has a sweeter aroma, it’s a little malty. Seems to be pretty strong in the alky smell. Also some wet burned wood in there too. Taste is a little bitter but I think this is better in flavor than the original DAB. Interesting offense on the back center palate. Yes, is a darker lager flavor, something like an American dark lager. On par with Alambra Negra and Nova Paka Granat. I’ve tasted better dunkels like Becks dark and Weltenburger. Mild bland rear aluminum tooth taste. OK for a dark beer. Probably would not purchase again considering the other offerings out there. Overall, nice to have had a chance to try this.

Bottle. Sour barley malt aroma - slight skunkiness. Golden yellow with small head and mild efferverscence. Sour musty barley malt flavor. Probably significantly better fresh.

Bottle. Pale green golden, fluffy white head. Hayish and light barnyardy aroma. Lightbodied, hay malt without staying power, dry bittering hops quickly petering off. Sparkly mouthfeel. Dry finish - brewed for drinkability.
