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, bought @ Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg.
Pours a great dark brown with a big, creamy off white head on top. Aroma is sweet, lots of dough and light caramel. Some rye bread as well. Great mouthfeel, rather creamy. Flavour is mild, malty sweet. Rye, dough, lightly roasted and some slight caramel. A smoky and hoppy bitter finish. A very good dunkel.

Bottle. The best way I can describe this beer is celebrator light. Pours a dark brown color. Smells, like whole wheat dough. Taste, coffee, fruity, pleasant. Really good!!

Poured into an Eichhof bier mug. Clear maroon color, with an off-white head that breaches the rim of the glass. No lacing, decent retention. Spicy and doughy notes on the nose. Sweet caky malt, with an earthy quality as well. Flavor is toasty and sweet, with a little fruitiness. Grain, toffee, and a touch of coffee. Smooth on the palate with good carbonation. You could drink this stuff all day.

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.
