Sam De Simine reminisces:

When I was 20 years old I was stationed in Germany. I started drinking "Dinkelacker". I am 73 years old and I am still drinking this fine German beer in the States. Thank you Germany

      Score: 15½ points
      Appearance (2½)
      Deep dark bright red. Thick head.
      Aroma (3)
      Mildly roasty, mildly chocolatey, quite malty.
      Mouthfeel (8)
      Light-medium body, fairly fizzy. Big maltiness supports a mild roast character, and a bit of noble hops.
      Overall Impression (2)
      Good beer, but it's more like a dark Pils than a Schwarzbier.

      Appearance (3)
      Golden, translucent. Huge dense head.
      Aroma (3½)
      Big grassy, fruity hops. Citrusy. Some sulfur.
      Mouthfeel (7)
      Medium body, smooth. Clean maltiness with a medium bitterness. Grassy hops are much more prominent in the nose than in the flavor. Ditto for the citrusy fruitiness. Low-medium bitterness. Grassy, mildly grainy, sulfury finish.
