Aug 27, 2007 Bottle. Pours a very deep clear ruby-brown with a large mostly-lasting off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, slightly roasty, and dark fruit. Delicious flavour of toasty caramel malt, dark fruit, and a lightly bitter, dry chocolaty finish. Medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. A very nice version of the style and one of the better ones I’ve tried, I really enjoyed it.

Aug 26, 2007 500ml bottle. Pours a translucent dark brown, with a fading off-white head.Aroma is light with caramel, anise, malts and coffee. Flavor mirrors the aroma with a bit of a sweet syrup thrown in. The mouthfeel was a bit thin and watery, and the carbonation was very light. Finish was dry, astringent and saccharine sweet. I would have rated this beer significantly higher had the palate not been so weak, and the finish so sweet.

Aug 9, 2007 8/8/07 From the bottle. Aroma is caramel malt forward followed by dried fruit, coffee, breadlike notes and sour munich malt. Appearance is medium brown, clean, with a medium off-white head. Flavor is sour bready malt forward with very light sweetness, roast character, nuttiness, with low bittering and no hop character. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with light cream and a very dry finish. Overall, clean with a lot of complicated bready notes.

Aug 8, 2007 Bottle. Beautiful burgundy amber color. Nice looking full head with mild lacing. Aroma of toasted crystal malt. Clean simple caramel flavors dominate. Subtle hop notes balance the maltiness. Excellent and smooth drinking beer.

Aug 7, 2007 500 ml bottle. Mug. Mahogany with a decent tan head. Aroma of malt and cocoa. Taste has notes of coffee, dark chocolate and roast malt. It was a bit thin and watery for my taste though.

Aug 4, 2007 500mL bottle. Pours a clear, cherry cola color; off-white head with decent lacing. Plenty of dried cherries and fresh malts in the aroma; syrupy and dense. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: dense dried fruits, caramel, and nougat; intense chewy maltiness that manages to (somehow) seem balanced and drinkable without any prominent show of bitterness; really tasty. Lengthy, chocolate and toasted malt finish, with the slightest show of citrus bitterness.

Jul 7, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours a bronze color with a small white head. Aroma of toasted grain, roasted malts and sweet barley. Flavor was very refreshing with hazelnut, caramel, honey, and some dark fruits with a light bitterness finish. A very good dunkel.
