pours a nice dark reddish hue with nice off white head, good lacing. Rye bread crust in the nose, also some grainy notes. Slightly sourish rye bready taste. some roasty sweetness. Middle is lacking. Finishes slightly smokey sweet. Good beer.Body is thinnish.

500ml bottle poured into a large lager glass. AAD pours medium brown with a small head. The aroma is malty and has caramel. The flavor is very malty, slightly fruity and soft.

Half liter bottle, for export. There is a nice, rich head on this brew, and a sweet, tangy aroma that is superb! Mellow roast grain flavor - toasted bread, with light hop bitterness. The malt base is pleasant and the finish is clean. Very drinkable, but the taste is not as fascinating as the aroma and appearance.

500ml brown bottle. Brownish red (chestnut) pour with a big bubbly, foamy tan head. Rings of lacing stick to the glass. Malty aroma with some nut, a hint of roasted malt and mocha. Flavour has some malt depth - medium roasted malt notes, some toffee-like sweetness. End has mild roast/hop bitterness. A little nutty malt aftertaste. Soft bodied with mild carbonation. Probably the best dunkel I’ve had. I will be returning to this one often.

Aroma is a roasted caramely scent. Color is a deep amber with a tall tight head. Taste is nutty, roasted and lightly sweet. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a nice smooth, soft feel. Finish comes in with a mild roasted malt flavor then a light sweet caramel taste and end with a nice bitterness and faint hop flavor. After taste is a dry caramel taste. This is a very tasty Dunkel, I would happily have another.

Pours brown, creamy head. Nose is malty, sweet, maybe some dark fruit. Flavor is malt, dark fruit, coffee, and a little dustiness. Maybe my glass was dirty. Easy drinkin brew.

500. Pours crystal clear very dark brown with a thick, creamy tan head that falls quickly to loose film and sedimentary rings of lace. Nice rich and restrained nose of roast grains, lightly sour, not unlike the coffee the brewer suggests. Rich and creamy but very lightly carbed body, very clean and drinkable. Big nutty, roasty, lightly coffeed mid-palate. Clean finish. Great stuff.

Bottle 0,33l 16 Jun 06. Dark brown /amber colored. A tanned creamy head. Roasted malty aroma. Sweet malty flavor with fruity hints. Roasted dry bitter aftertaste. A good dunkel but a bit too sweet.
