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 a nice brown color with a large fizzy head that diminishes quickly. Has an aroma of sweet malts, coffee and caramel. Flavor is malty. Slight smokiness to it along with caramel and dark fruits. The mouth is fairly thin and fizzy but refreshing as well. Pretty good.

500 ml bottle. Pours a dark ruby brown with a smallish foamy head. Aromas are very malty. Sour malts with some yeastiness too. Prunes too. Smoke was the first thing I got on the flavor. But it was minimal. Very roasty malty flavor. More dark fruits. A touch of spiciness on the finish and a bit of dust. Very good

500ml bottle poured a clear brown with a lasting amber head. Aromas of plum, bakers chocolate, and a slight hint of coffee. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of bakers chocolate, mild coffee, and some fruitiness with a smooth finish.

Pours dark brown. Nose of dark roasted coffee and wet hay. Medium sized froth/hangtime. Nice effers. Flavors of cocoa, coffee, malted leather. Finishes dry. Overall: Not my favorite Dunkle.

500ml on tap at a friendly and cosy pub in Turku, Finland called Uusi Apteekki. Recommended by the staff. A dark lager, opaque dark brown on colour. Warming aroma. Slightly carbonated. Malty start and notes of black coffee in the finish (02.03.2006).

I had this poured from the bottle with a pork with apples meal. Its sweetness mixed well with the pork, especially where it was crispy. As a palate cleanser, the snappy carbonation worked well, but it isn’t a beer I’d drink by itself.

We took the kids to the Nine Inch Nails show in Cincy Saturday night. On the way down we stopped at Mecklenburg Gardens. I had one of these from a bottle before dinner. Nose of butterscotch and brown sugar. Pours a clear ruby copper. The tall creamy tan rocky head is mostly lasting with no lace. The flavor is somewhat shallow, but is fresh and pleasant. The floral finish has a bready caramel quality. The light to medium body is creamy and soft. I’m not one for malty styles, but this brew worked well with my meal. I recommend the Hungarian Goulash. Hats off to the owners of this fine establishment, we all left very happy.

Bottle. Smooth, easy drinkin goodness, sessie to the core. Earthy fruit, berry hoery dark forest flavor. Bark lager. Good.
