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.

Brown pour wiht huge head boiling over the glass. Dark fruit, roast malt aroma. Weird smokiness to the flavor that I didn’t enjoy, long lingering finish. Stronger flavor than I expected.

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).
