Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkel
Aying, Germany

Pours a nutty brown boardering on amber when held up to the light, nice tan head. A nice roasted malt aroma. Bittersweet and smooth taste with a fruity finish.

bottle. medium colored brown ( I can see light through my glass ) with a nice looking tan head. commercial description is dead on! roasted malt, plums, toffee and just a hint of coffee. a very nice and well done dunkel.

Very solid dunkel, but slightly astringent... almost sour. Not as malty as I would have liked after comparing it to the Kulmbacher

Bottled. Roastmalty, slightly coffeish with cocoa-like notes. Dry hop-bitter, roastmalty taste. Coffeish notes. Ends quite dry. Full body for the style with a smooth mouthfeel. Would love to have this on tap, as it is a little behind the best Czech dunkels I had fresh from tap. Great stuff.

Poured a rich reddish-brown color producing a 1/2 inch thick head of rapidly dissipating foam. The aroma is incredible. The nose was of fresh, dark roasted malts with a hint of cocoa. The taste started with rich roasted malts, hazelnut and a hint of molasses. Hops come next nicely balancing the malt sweetness carring it through to the end. A subtle sting of espresso in the finish leave s you with the perfect mixture of sweetness and bitterness. The feel was light-medium bodied, yet creamy. This might be the best of the non-Doppelbock German beers I have sampled. This beer is fantastic and I strongly recomend this one.

Bottle. Brown amber hue with small head. Strong malt and caramel aroma. Medium body with small bitter finish. Good brew to style.

bottled, brown color. mild aroma of malt, medium bodied. the flavor is subdued, w/ hint of coffee and caramel. crispy finish.

Deep beautiful mahogany pour and a dense light brown head of foam. Big aroma of malt and caramel, flavor’s all malt with a little hops. Almost syrupy sticky and sweet. Love it.
