Dark ruby color. Foamy coffee-head. Lively carbonation. Aroma is roasted malt and milk chocolate. Medium-bodied, roasted malt, slightly bitter with hints of alcohol. World class dunkel. Jukkabro (3039), Tampere, Finland
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2004 Almost black colored, very big light brown head. Aroma has lot of chocolate. Roasted and mildly sweet caramel flavor, ends with biting hops and little carbonation feeling in tongue. Very nicely balanced brew. Body could be little stronger, still very good dunkel. sayravai (3784), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 3, 2004 Updated: Sep 25, 2004Very nice, deep, dark red color with medium, tanned head. Quite dry, slightly roasted coffee-malty aroma. Quite dry, hoppy, roasted-malty and slightly smoky flavor. Turns sllightly sweeter towards the end. Medium-bodied, slightly thin, slicky, quite carbonated palate. A quite tasty and balanced brew that feels like 1/2 of czech dark lager, 1/2 porter and a sip of coffee and smoked beer as a bonus. Becomes more dry, roasted and smooth when warm. johndoughty (2167), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England
