Beautiful, sparkling clear, mahogany lager. Large, frothy, off-white head. Spider web lacing. The nose is of Russian black bread and clover honey. Hint of cocoa. Nice, bold flavor. Roasted nuts, cocoa, vanilla. Well-bittered. Good balance. Earthy, damp straw flavor in there too. Medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, astringent, dry finish. Underrated... much like the 1988 and 1993 WVU Mountaineers football teams. Both had undefeated regular seasons; neither was listed in the Top 25 preseason poll. Just thought you'd like to know.

Bottled, pasteurised. Dark brown / red with thinnish white head. Deep malty, chocolate, coffee flavour with hints of caramel or a slight burning. Some fruitiness apparent, I quite enjoyed this one.

The following was a rating for DAB Traditional:
This oddly obscure "An Ale" is a puzzlement. It comes across more like an American dark lager than anything else, brown with a roasty nose, lightly sweet malt tastes. Fairly light bodied with a mildly bitter finish, I’m not sure what I just drank.

Looks real nice, but it’s a fairly watered down dunkel. The clear brown coloring promises some good, solid maltiness, but it’s very light on the nose. Likewise with the taste - a little caramel malt, a hint of smoke, a bit of a spritzy feel in the throat. Not bad, but not real good.

The above combo rating is a result of having DAB Traditional combined with this dunkel.

Brown color with a modest off white head. Mild malt, caramel, toffee and nuts in the aroma. Hints of nobel hops. Flavors aline with the aromas. Somewhat earthy and a touch metallic. Thin and a bit fizzy.

Bottle. Poured dark brown with a medium brown head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate roasted malt aroma. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Better than my expectation.

Pours dark straw/amber. Aroma of malt, slight toffee, slight brown sugar. Tastes malty, with some toffee, cognac, and earthy qualities. Light on mouthfeel, and as it warmed it didn’t improve much.
