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.

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.

500 ml bottle, via Saarlander. Pours a clear dark amber colored body under a generous two finger foamy beige head that left lots of heavy lacing. Aroma is very clean. Nutty malt with a slight grainy character. Notes of tobacco, coffee, and oily leather. Nose is slightly grainy toasted malt up front fading to a sweet malty finish with notes of leather, smoke, and toffee. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate fizzy carbonation. Finishes a little sticky with some risidual sugars. This was a really good Dunkel. Full of flavor and never thin or watery. Top rate stuff!

Dark copper pour with a light tan foamy head. Rich aroma of malt and chocolate. This beer has a smooth entrance of malt, chocolate, toffee.

Dark brown color with malty sweet aroma. Flavor is good roasted malt with sweetish start and a lightly bitter dry finish. Slightly thin on the palate.

500 ml bottle. Nice clear dark-copper color with moderate foamy head. Very enjoyable dunkel. Like most of the Ayinger beers I’ve had, this one is well-balanced, with an instant attack, sharp brown ale-like taste, and clean, slightly lingering aftertaste.

Light roasted malts, toffee, and mild caramel nose. Flavors are similar to aroma and easy drinking. A tasty Alt, even though a bit watery.
