Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel

Tap @ beer house in Munich. Dark garnet body topped with a creamy tan head and little lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, grains, roasted malt. Body is medium with creamy carbonation. Flavor is gentle and balanced with dark fruits (dried), caramel notes, and a lightly roasted backdrop. Best beer I had in Germany. Very refined.

From the 500 ml bottle with no noticeable expiration date or lot code. The pour is a bubbly but attractive amber-brown and a small beige head, The aroma is of barley malts and caramel or molasses. The mouthfeel is of medium to heavy texture. The taste is mainly sweet with malts, coffee, and fresh hops in the background. This too me is how a Bavarian dark beer should be.

Bottle shared with the Dev Knights - Poured a clean caramel gold, white head with some lacing. Malt smooth with caramel and light grains. Flavor is really mild and refreshing, good hot day drinker.

Pours a dark caramel color with a fading off white head. Aromas of German malts, caramel, and grainy cereal. Flavor is similar - mainly malts with a hint of dark fruit. Palate has the typical German tingling on the tongue. Not too bad

Pours a dark transparent red with a small white head. The aroma is malty. Caramel, prunes, honey and grass. The taste is really musty, in an unpleasant way. Tastes like old moldy barley... Like when I used to clean out my Dad’s grain bins in the fall before harvest. Mouth feel is decent. Meh, I’m sure this beer could taste better whether fresh, on tap ect. But this bottle/batch is not that great.

Pours dark brown from 500ml bottle with a generous hea. Aroma is malt,yeast, and dried plums. Nice mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, and 500ml bottle - Pours dark brown with a big, fluffy head that leaves nice lacing. I smelled malts, yeast, and dark fruit. Excellent long finish, malt, dried fruit and a good balanced alcohol kick. Very drinkable.

Not quite as dark as other dunkels, severe brown-red but still a good looking beer. Smells like an average bowl of cereal. More than decent malty taste, exceeds the smell. Pretty easy to drink but I wish I knew how fresh this was because I am suspicious.... Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 09-04-2009 05:37:22
