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.

Pours a 2.41085285491250 finger head. Chuckle chuckle Any way, huge head, nice red beer with a sweet bread and malt aroma that blends into the exact flavor you would expect from the nose. Very gulp-able.

A very good malty aroma. Flavor is also that of a wooded malt. Very drinkable with a presence of alcohol. Medium mouthfeel. A nice drink.

Sweet malty aroma. Flavor was malty and slightly bitter (in a good way). Sort of light on the palate.. not as heavy a beer as some of these dark beers are. Refreshing.

Pours 2.5 finger smooth head. Not a big fan of dunkels, bit I must admit this is a very well made beer. Smells like a dunkel (play-doh, dust, and enchilada sauce). Taste is uniform and well-rounded. Clean finish. Silky mouthfeel. It’s a very good beer, despite the oddness of dunkels.

500ml bottle. This maybe a biased rating - Not a fan of dunkels, mistook this for a Schwarz upon purchase. This did have an exceptional pour to it. Somewhat overwhelming malt that is kind of a turn off... surprised this is only 5%. It went pretty bad with my food. Overall, It was okay for a Dunk, but nothing i would come back to.

On tap at Winking Lizard: Pours a deep brown with a light tan head. Aroma, raosted notes, caramel, some fruits. Flavor, caramel, and herbal and floral hop flavor, chocolate, some sweet malts, very smooth and quite delicious.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown with a nice off-white, frothy head. Very mild aroma. Flavor is malty with hints of caramel and a little chocolate. Palate is on the light side. Very good overall. Plenty of flavor but very drinkable.
