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.

500ml bottle. Tasted in a 20oz lager glass. 47°. Pours dark red, almost brown. 1/2" of white head that leaves quickly. Aroma is all malt, sweet and nutty. Taste is sweetish malt, with some nuttiness, woodiness, and hints of coffee and fruit. The finish is of roasted malt. The mouthfeel is pretty good for this type of beer. I would love to drink this out of a huge stein in a German beer hall so that I could connect with my German roots. This is good, but probably not a beer style that I would generally drink.

This isn’t one of my favorite styles, but this version is pretty good. Dark copper/ruby color, minimal head. High malt presence, pretty light on the hops. However, there is enough hops here to tone down the sweetness of the malt. Really nice balnce here.

500ml bottle. pours clear chestnut with off white head. a nice nutty and toasted malt aroma. flavor is the same, very clean malt profile, some floral hop in the finish. flavor falls off pretty short. a well executed dunkel that you could drink a lot of. perhaps the fall would be a good session time for this.

Bottle. Poured a deep red color with a fizzy, light tan head. Sweet aroma of raisin and some smokiness. The flavor was fruity mixed with malts and a slight smokey aftertaste. Light and dry.
