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.

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.

Burgundy color. Light malt nose with hints of plums and berries, along with caramel. It’s quite dry as well. Palate is round and complex, smoky, and full of rich malt flavors (caramel, toffee, fruit) along with hints of vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel, yet slightly watery texture.

Bottle. Pours a very deep clear ruby-brown with a large mostly-lasting off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, slightly roasty, and dark fruit. Delicious flavour of toasty caramel malt, dark fruit, and a lightly bitter, dry chocolaty finish. Medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. A very nice version of the style and one of the better ones I’ve tried, I really enjoyed it.

Pours dark brown from 500ml bottle with a generous hea. Aroma is malt,yeast, and dried plums. Nice mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, and 500ml bottle - Pours dark brown with a big, fluffy head that leaves nice lacing. I smelled malts, yeast, and dark fruit. Excellent long finish, malt, dried fruit and a good balanced alcohol kick. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Roasty malt aroma with hints of dried cherries and butterscotch. Deep clear brown with a nice tan head. The flavor is sweet with chocolate and toffee and a slightly sour after taste. Medium bodied with a thin slick mouth feel, soft carbonation. This is a smooth easy drinking dunkel, a great example of classic German brewing.

Pours a clear dark tawny to walnut color with a medium sized, frothy head. The aroma has a lot of coffee, toffee, some grain, and a touch of dark fruit. The flavor is similar, but with a buttery toffee and dark fruit finish. Medium-light bodied with light carbonation. Complex and drinkable.
