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 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

Bottle. Pours a pale brown, with a thinnish head, but passable lacing. Nose is quite sweet; toffee, fruit, spice, malt. Palate is soft, sweet, and malty, but complexity comes from the spice and fruit. More impressive than it first appears. Solid.
