Commercial Description:
Dark chocolate in color, you can see a wonderful reflection if you hold it up to the light. It is round and soft with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly roasted malted barley. A satisfying, malty taste, with coffee-ish tones and a hint of plummy fruitiness in the finish. Complex and beautifully balanced.

Bottle: pours a dark reddish brown with a thin white head, aroma of malt and roasted barley, taste is toasted malts, just a little sweet, with a smooth finish. Not bad.

Pours an attractive deep ruddy brown with a decent cream colored head. The nose is roasted malt and caramel. The flavor is more of that, with the toasted malt standing out in a smokey, smooth way. Quite smooth on the palate as well.

Pours a medium brown with a nice off-white head which dissolves quickly into a small but lasting layer of foam with some lacing. Aroma is very bready, reminds me of a good Maibock. Tastes lightly smoky, very bready, lightly toasted with some diacetyl, light nuttiness. Body is creamy but thin, carbonation average. Can’t say I really care for this one, but then I’ve always had issues with Dunkels. Willing to give anything a try, especially given that I’ve enjoyed Ayinger so far, but this one falls flat for me.

Bottle... Poured deep burgandy with a huge frothy head. Aroma is great, roasted nuts, tea and plums. Palate is smooth, with flavors of roasted malt, caramel and a touch of hops for a mild, refreshing bitterness. Some other chocolate, mild coffee flavors too. Very hearty.

Speis Und Trank, Munich. Clear ruby with a beige collar. Woody, almondy nut aroma with a hint of beefiness. A faint dusting of coffee and chocolate. Woodsy and thinnish with a very milky, mild-like coffeeish note, and some watery hazelnut/almond in the background. If this was a mild I’d mark it down for being too bland. Tasty, but vague.

Roasty,slight chocolate aroma, a gorgeous dark hue, taste was a smooth almost foanmy, dark roast flavor,edged toward sweetness then dried out, flavors were inticingly subdued, which I suppose this style should be. A great session brew

(GREMANY) Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo !!! Dark auburn color with a thin tan head. This dunkel has a roasted malt / oatmeal aroma and a slight rum / caramel taste. The finish is sweet but kinda dry. So if you see this one give it a try !!!!
