Atwater Dunkel

Brewed by Atwater Block Brewery
Style: Dunkel

its thin, flat tasting, low malts quality. It taste more like a cola than a dark lager. Caramel flavor is not very apparent. not really worth your money

Dark, with a massive fizzy head that slowly fades. Sweet, with a thin malty body. definite caramel and toffee flavors as well. Light on the hops. Finished clean.

On draft at sharp edge creekhouse. Pours a mahogany color with a small off-white head. Aroma of dark roasty malts, caramel and some brown sugar. Flavor is medium body and quite smooth with a slight bitter hop finish.

4 oz sample, World Expo of Beer. Frankenmuth, MI. May 19th 2007. 27th brew of the festival.

Inviting pour with large, fizzy off-white head atop a dark brown body. Aroma of caramel, molasses, straw. Light hops. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderatley acidic. Very light bitterness in the finish. Thin texture, average carbonation. Overall, a crisp, easy-to-drink beer, though nothiing to distinguish itself.

Atwater dunkel weizen on tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Big 16 oz glass for $5. Very nice dark brownish hazy pour. Aroma of sweets and root beer along with fermenting fruit, interesting and appealing. Nifty earthly intriguing flavor that reminds me of Corsendonk or Fat Gary. Medium low carbonation that is not tingling but welcomed. Very friendly and well balanced. A decent behaved brew that is easy to enjoy. Cannot detect much, if any bitterness. Overall just a nice repeatable session brew that leaves me feeling happy. Everything about this brew is very acceptable. Would not hesitate to buy this again. Dunkel is one of my favorite styles. On par or slightly better than other good dunkels I’ve had such as Weltenburger Kloster Barock Dunkel, Penn Dark Lager Beer and Warsteiner Premium Dunkel. Better than Harpoon Munich Dark and Saranac Chocolate Amber. I’m not sure why this is not classified as a dunkel weizen.

This one has a significant yuck-yum factor. The aroma is alright. It’s light but mildly chocolaty, with cream soda, brown sugar, tea, and dark malts. The appearance is brown with a medium sized head. The flavor is where this one starts to have problems. You first get a bad fruitiness that is like over ripe watermelon and basil then a nice chocolaty, dark malt flavor follows. Finally there is an astringent bitter aftertaste. The palate is thin. This one has major problems with off flavors but there is potential.

Dark clear brown/amber color with a big beige head. Aroma is pretty sweet with caramel and fruit. Flavor is bittersweet with some caramel and sour fruit.
