Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

golden brown in color, almost like a bottle brown, descent cream colored head and a light amount of lacing. medium carbonation and the usual European skunky smell. Flavors of med-dark roasted malts and very little hops. notes of grain - mouth-feel is ok, finish is a bit dry. Overall this is barely ok, and I would not buy it again.
This Dunkle poured a black colour with a nice big, foamy, light tan coloured head. Scents include raisens and dough. First sip is very watery with flavours of raisens and malt. Finish is slightly sweet with a small bitter finish. This beer looks alot better than it tastes, but what do you expect from corporate muck?
A beautiful looking beer. The first dark beer that I ever drank. Rich and smooth with a lvery nice deep ebony color . You can sense the barley malt. A bottom-fermented lager that retains the properties of a lager beer. Better looking than tasting though.
