| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 11, 2005 Another quality product of Ayinger. Great color and pour, slight chocolate taste, with a hint of fruit. Crockett (904), Steelback County, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 1, 2005 Pours clear deep amber with a short tawny soap head. Toasted malt with a touch of chocolate aroma. Mildly pepper, some chocolate and raw sugar. Bready malts and dull grapefruit. Some cotton candy and vanilla in the clean earthy finish.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 30, 2004 From the bottle, this poured a deep mahogany color with a short-lived fizzy white head. The aroma is of sweet malt and dried fruits. Medium bodied, this has rich, sweet malt flavors... sweet, but not cloyingly so. There are also hints of fruit and caramel. Nice dunkel. wnhay (722), Princeton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2004 Updated: Aug 12, 2005 Dunkels aren’t really my style. Ayinger knows what they are doing so I had to try this. The taste was just too sweet. It tasted like malt and fruit and was not really my thing. If you like Dunkels go for it. dirkules (613), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 18, 2004 another very decent ayinger brew... a malty rainsiny brown success... I dig the german brews. allphoto (36), Oakland, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 16, 2004 Aroma is of sweet malt and raisins. The flavor is to my taste buds muddled. The hops and malt flavors complement each other too perfectly for either to be well noticed. The Dunkel style is not one of my better liked ones, I thought I was buying a dark wheat, just preoccupied. Not one for the regular rotation. IMtheOptimator (1161), Bethel, Connecticut, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 10, 2004 Poured reddish-brown with an off-white head that left a thin lacing on the glass. Faint spicy aroma. Tasted rather thin, with some roasted malt. A rather unpleasant soy sauce character is evident. One of the poorest selections I’ve had from Ayinger. hawkshadow (102), Rural Retreat, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2004 Fizzy and mellow. That about sums it up for me. It sizzles on the tongue, but the flavor is mellow to the point where nothing really stands out. Good enough, but for the price there are many better.
