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.

Bottle. Poured a deep red color with a fizzy, light tan head. Sweet aroma of raisin and some smokiness. The flavor was fruity mixed with malts and a slight smokey aftertaste. Light and dry.

Poured from a bottle into a lager glass, this gem developed a lasting, creamy, tan head. Close examination of the body revealed a gorgeous deep chestnut hue that was clear and bubbly. Initially the aroma had a short burst of hops, but the specifics escaped me before the aroma morphed into a rich caramel-like maltiness. Shortly thereafter I also smelled a tiny bit of fruit. Much to my surprise, this had one of the most dynamic aromas I’ve experienced in a beer. The taste was crisp and a little spicy with some smoother, sweeter malts for balance. I could be going crazy, but I also thought I noticed the slightest bit of smoked malts in the finish. The beer was medium- bodied and very refreshing. I’ll have this one again for sure!

Bottle from Bev Mo La Mesa. Pours a deep, dark amber with a off white head. Nose is abundant with chocolate, plums, raisens, and malt. A very good Dunkle.

Bottled. Pours a clear mahogany color with a huge ivory head. Smells like sweet wort! It makes me want to brew today. Sweet, malty flavor with some dark fruits and a bit of yeastiness. Clean and easy to drink.
