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.

darker amber with ruby highlights. Aroma is a small amount of chocolate, sweet malts, specifically caramel and toffee, vanilla undertones. The taste is sweet and roasty caramel malts, light chocolate also, with a slightly watery palate, smooth finish.

this was a real cool brew. This has characteristics of the clebrator in the malt presence. Aroma was that of mixed vegtables-palate was smooth with subtle spice notes. Probably the best dunkel i have ever had.

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

Red-amber hued with big puff head, this dunkel was excellent for the style. Chocolate dunkel malt/barley aroma with some possible nuttiness. The flavor was chocolate with some alcohol apparent and a significant streak of caramel. A fine brew.

One of the better dunkels I've run into. Deep red, thin off-white head. Nose full of malts and light roasts. Flavor full of caramel malts, lightly toasted, pleasingly sweet. Good stuff.

Golden, reddish-brown. Lively fizz with a moderate off-white, bubbly head. Smells of rich caramel, toffee, coffee and chocolate malt. First impression is nice and light, refreshing but well rounded. Seems a little thin and it loses complexity as I work my way down my boot glass. A decent beer, but pretty unimpressive. I was hoping for a more noteworthy experience from this one.
