Atwater Dunkel

Brewed by Atwater Block Brewery
Style: Dunkel
Detroit, Michigan USA

I really used to like this beer, but it has been difficult to find since stoney creek bought it. A great starter for someone expirimenting with darks.

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

in the beginning of my "quest for beer knowledge" I admit dunkel did not initially strike me as "the brew". but i say to all this beer is dark and not too syrup like it has a raisin like initial taste that is not overdone. This beer has a rainwater clean taste and in the finish it is busy on the tip of the tongue. the flavor steeps down to a very farmfresh wheat juice and i say so because it is juicy. a clear winner!

Yet another good beer from Stoney Creek. This brewery is really starting to impress me. The Dunkel pours out to a nice, dark, amber to black color in the glass with a very, slight head. Taste is quite malty and slightly sweet. A very, easy to drink dunkel and a beer that would go over with the macro set.

Pours a nice looking burnt caramel color with a small rimming off-white head. Lacing is nice. Aroma is very nutty and with some light, but nice hop notes. Flavor is nuts, caramel but not too sweet. Finish is slightly nutty and hoppy. Nice clean swallow. This is pretty good.

from the bottle. poured a dark mahagony with a light tan head. aroma cheeries, brown sugar, malts, chocolate, dark fruits. flavorthe brown sugar comes out first, than a hint of sourness, malts, fruity with a nice hop dryness, nutty. good beer. easy drinking beer.

On tap: Roasted malt aroma. Dark brown with red hilights with an off-white head. Excellent lacing. Sweet and roasty thoughout. Has a nutty finish with barely some sourness. A light fruitiness hides in the background.

12oz - Aroma is earthy, sweet, dark roasty malts and chewy carmel. Pours dark brown with a huge head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma and is sweet and syrupy. Palate is sticky. Interesting and tasty.
