Not too bad. Dark brown color, with little head. A bit watery taste, and a bit bitter near the end. Really, not nothing all that specail.

Off white head lingers a little then collapses rapidly from large bubbles. Amber body is brialliantly clear. Aaahhhh that green bottle! Lightstruck is in the air, although not as bad as some. There is a little grainy malt, roast malt, as well as a some caramel and a little bit of corn(DMS). That's a first, caramel corn beer. Anyway, flavor starts out bitter and roasty, not stout like, but it could be more restrained for a Dunkel. Yes, there is that familiar light struck taste, again, not as heavy as it could be, but it's there. Grainy malty flavor and a dry, very bitter astringent finish. There is absolutely no creaminess or smoothness to this beer, it's dry, astringent, and thin for a dunkel. Carbonation is on the high side, even for a lager and truly nothing very appealing...just my opinion.

Clear and dark, but not opaque. Bit of a skunky odor (green bottle). Small head, not long lasting. Not a lot of flavor, but not bad. Not a bad beer, but not good either.

Draught: Deep dark brown, yet clear. Nose of lightly toasted malt. Sticky light tan head. Thin, and not much going on. Kinda skunky, metallic, roasted grain, finishing sweet with a light hint of bitterness. Im not terribly impressed, but its definately drinkable. Hey it was free, what can I say. HAHA

Bit of a skunky aroma. Decent dark copper color, medium sized head - no lacing. Thin, watery. No real distinctive flavor excepty for a slight malty aftertaste. Tastes like an ordinary lager.

Not much to say. A dark beer from Germany. Dark without being opaque. Off white head. Slightly roasted lager. Decent.

A dry, slightly roasty ale. Really nice and something I could enjoy again. Surprised I hadn’t had it until now, and then I noticed only three others have had it, so it’s obviously much rarer than the other DAB.

A soft dunkel with soft dark malts and no graininess. Not terribly complex, but quite drinkable.
