Dec 11, 2007 Hazy golden-amber colour. Fresh complex malt aroma with leafy hops. Toasty body with light leafy hop accents and some breadcrustiness. Decent.

Oct 19, 2005 Bottle. Not as good as the hell, but still quite nice. Touches of caramel and brown sugar, with a nice lightly bitter herbaceous, grassy hop finish. Not too bad at all.

Oct 1, 2005 Yellow-brown, enormous head, receding fast; barnsteen-red beer, the yeast again nearly totally clinging to the bottom, making it un-clear at worst, well carbonated. Roasted malts, dark brown bread aroma’s, earthy & leafy aroma’s, even meaty, as chestnuts fallen on the autumn muddy ground. Earthy flavours, with a serious dash of hops, caramel and again brown bread. Liquorice flavour too, but without a trace of sweetness; chicory-like bitterness all the more. Wry & dry MF, nearly adstringent, medium bodied at best. I like this Dunkel better than their Helles, which means: thanks to joss for letting me be the third to rate this. !

Oct 9, 2006 Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured, medium-sized, quite firm off-white head; slightly fruity and dark sweet-malty to caramelly nose; mild sweetish flavour, fizzy mouthfeel; sweetish-caramelly finish with a moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. O.K. (by kind permission of joss...)

Nov 22, 2006 (bottle, with thanks to Jonas!) Cloudy, orange-amber colour with a short frothy off-white head. Sweet, toasty malt aroma with ester-fruity notes, shades of caramel and spicy, nettle-like hop-elements. Toast-malty, yeast-fruity taste, caramel, almost fizzy on the palate, light to medium bodied; medium-dry, malty, slightly bitter finish. Quite palatable.

Mar 31, 2005 Swing-top bottle
Chestnut colour (not particulary cloudy), creamy brown head - lacing nicely but dissipating fast.
Roast and chocolate aroma.
Nutty and chocolate tastenotes. Slightly fizzly mouthfeel. Relatively light body, light metallic finish.

Dec 25, 2007 (500ml bottle) Thanks Joss for sharing. Pours a thin, white head with a cloudy orange body. Nose is fairly skunky. Very sewer flavour with a tart off-orange finish. Not to my liking.

Dec 10, 2007 Bottle thanks to Joss. Pours a hazy ripe papaya color. Smells a little macrobrew-like but not bad. Tastes full of grain character and hop. Clean, nice, and bitter with a dry finish. Balanced. Decently chewy, soft, and bursty mouthfeel.
