| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 8, 2006 Cranberry brown pour. Lots of fresh cherry juice in the aroma and body. The body is a bit thin, but filled with notes of chocolate, vanilla, roasted beans and more fruit. Finishes watery. Good, but I want more of everything to make this great. frylock (1026), Buffalo, New York, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 18, 2008 500ml brown bottle. Brownish red (chestnut) pour with a big bubbly, foamy tan head. Rings of lacing stick to the glass. Malty aroma with some nut, a hint of roasted malt and mocha. Flavour has some malt depth - medium roasted malt notes, some toffee-like sweetness. End has mild roast/hop bitterness. A little nutty malt aftertaste. Soft bodied with mild carbonation. Probably the best dunkel I’ve had. I will be returning to this one often.
