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 dark amber with moderate head. aroma is caramel/raisin, roast/cocoa, and some bread. taste is a roasty caramel with some dark fruit and bread notes. finish is very light bitterness and is very soft with a lot of carbonation. no doubt a very good example of the style.

Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Wonderful malty aroma with dark rosey amber presence. Delightfully full body with tones of toffee and carmel. Served with fresh homemade pretzels and whole grain mustard - a wonderful treat.

This was a wonderful all around beer. From the minute I poured it, with its nice amber, mahogany color and beautiful reflection, to the nice full creamy head, I simply knew I’d like it. The aroma was very malty, caramelly, and bread-like. The taste was very complex with similar malt, toffee and flavors remniscent of bread-pudding. And of course the palate was nice, smooth, and creamy like all good dunkels. Great beer, definitely my favortie dunkel thus far.

From a 500 ML bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours an aromatic, dark brown brew that smells of roasted malts and has a tan, thin head. Tastewise, this is a lovely dunkel, with just the right taste for the style for me!

Poured with a nice fine foamy head that slowly subsided to a thin cover and lace. Color is a deep, lovely, amber brown with highlights of brass. Milld chocolate malt roasty aroma. Flavor is very smooth with a hint of fruit, nice supple body. Very supple. This is a new bottle beer just arrived at Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, WI USA

[Rerate 2.6.08] Pours rootbeer colored with medium off-white sudsy head. Aroma slightly grassy and of roast malt. Flavor sweet malts & hops with mellow deep roasted flavor, sweet like a tootsie-roll. Palate is nice and pillowy, slightly syrupy.
