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.

Dark amber, tight tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. Sweet malty flavor with dry and bitter finish. Medium body, clean feeling. Quite tasty.

(Bottled) Very beautiful deep, dark red color with a foamy, diminishing and lacy head. Malty, sweet and nutty aroma. Roasted malt, caramel and coffee are present in the sweetish flavor. Smooth and creamy, medium-bodied palate with bitter and dry finish, and balanced carbonation. A throughly enjoyable, full and filling brew, that would easily take in 2% more ABV.

I don't find much of an aroma with this brew, maybe some carmel malt; the flavor is definitely roasted carmel dominated with a light coffee and doughy goodness; nice brew.

Nice caramely tasting beer, malty caramel smell, translucent dark brown color, really tasty and drinkable with plenty of caramel malt flavor.

Bottle - 500ml. Superb dark ruby body topped with a thick and lasting off-white frothy head. Lovely and complex malty aroma with brown sugar, toffee, nutty, flowery, plummy and toasty notes that reminds some barley wines. Taste is well balanced but is less complex than the aroma. Texture is very mild, and the mouthfeel ends with a fairly long hoppy finish. This is an excellent Dunkel.

The color is a very clear red/mohogany with a big off-white head. The aroma is dominated my malt, with toffee and roasty overtones. The tatse is similar, but has some chocolate a fruity tones as well. It still finsihes relatively dry with some nuttiness and bitterness in the aftertaste.

My second Dunkel. Pours a deep, nutty brown with a good size beige head. Kinda weak malty, spicy aroma. Medium bodied. Great lightly roasted, malty, crisp flavor. Good beer.
