Calumet Dark

Brewed by Rowlands Calumet Brewery

pre dark lord day party. pours translucent brown with little brown bubbles around the rim. muddy caramel in the nose. musty grains and cigarette ash in the taste. didn’t seem too complex, nor was it a refreshing treat.

Growler @ Flossmoor pre-DLD fest, courtesy of bwkreiger. Thanks!! Pours a clear, deep amber-brown color; light tan head with fine-bubbled lacing. Solid amounts of caramel and nougat in the aroma: dry, toasty grains. Medium mouthfeel: soft carbonation; bready, toasty grains, sugar and caramel; very pleasant, soft, and intensely drinkable stuff. Medium finish: toasty grains, sugar, cereal, and toffee.

Thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=4 for sharing from his growler.
Nice pour, a reddish chestnut body with a slender off-white head. The aroma is rich with warm caramel balanced by an herbal and hard nut bitterness. The balance is well maintained in the flavor, just enough to keep that malty sweetness in check.
A decent Dunkel, and a fine beer for Wisconsin rating #300 (out of 4171).

growler thanks to some kind soul at flossmoor station.... poures a dark reddish brown with a thin film of off-white head.... aroma of nutty dark caramel malt.... flavors are much of the same. medium carbonation.

Growler at the pre-DLD party at Flossmoor, thanks bwkrieger for a chance to taste this: (Rating #3600)

Clean caramel hue with a lasting frothy head and left very nice lace upon the glass. The aroma has notes of roasted and caramel malt, walnut, grassy and leafy hop, earthy yeast esters. The taste starts with sweet malt and some fruity acidity, grassy and nutty finish. Got sort of one-dimensional after a while however. The mouth feel is smooth and soft, chalky finish. Not too bad specially for the style.

growler at Pre-DLD gathering, pours dark red with white head. nose of caramel, chocolate, and nutty. flavors are nutty, caramel, hints of chocolate. med body. this is a really nice dunkel.

I purchased a 1/2 gallon growler and went home tp try it. Poured dark mohagany color with little to no head. Aroma is quite musty and also sweet. Taste is smooth with malt, toffee and coffee flavor leaving with a dry smokey aftertaste. Overall a pretty decent brew and look forward to trying other beers from the Calumet Brewery.
