Jan 23, 2007 Bottle: Pours a clear brownish red with a huge sized off white head that lingers around for a while. Aroma is fruity with some definite malt characteristics, sugary, and somewhat nutty. Taste is clean but a little clotting, some caramel malts, a light acidic stinging, a dark fruitiness, and almost grainy. This beer ends with a lingering malt bitterness on the palate. Overall, A decent dunkel, definitely not the best I’ve ever had of the style.

Jan 27, 2006 Very nice. Pours a dark brown with a nice thick dense head. Aromas of dark malt, yeast, and a slight smoke flavor.A fresh yeast taste with an underlying smokey flavor. This would be a great session beer.

Jun 2, 2003 Slightly bitter aroma, for a relatevely 'weak' beer, has a hint of alcohol smell. Nice deep brown and copper colour, lacy head. The taste is slightly sweet with a buttery smooth aftertaste.

Oct 30, 2002 I am rapidly becoming a fan of the Ayinger Beers. This has a good dark flavor. Malt and coffee taste with a bit of a bitter finsh.

Dec 5, 2002 Very rich malt character some definite barly notes all around. I really like the mouthfeel. To be honest, I find this beer almost too drinkable. Esch sip makes me want to keep drinking without pause. Very well balanced and full of complexity. A good offering.

Mar 16, 2007 Dark brown color with malty sweet aroma. Flavor is good roasted malt with sweetish start and a lightly bitter dry finish. Slightly thin on the palate.

Jul 11, 2005 From a bottle at The Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown, WV. Served cold in a quasi-wheat beer glass. Pours dark brown with a creamy light brown head. Medium lacing. Light aroma of dark malts—caramel, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor matches the aroma, but with added dark fruits. Very subtle. Not a beer that blows you away, but one that is clearly well-made and true to its style. Went well with wiener schnitzel and cabbage. I found the carbonation to be excessive.
