Commercial Description:
Yearn for a classic Bavarian dark? Our Dunkles is brewed using only the finest roasted malts to give this lager its full dark color. Rich and smooth, yet contains no more alcohol than our Pilsener. The true classic from Munich with a subdued bitterness and roasty sweetness.

Visited Das Bierhaus for their official Grand Opening on June 30. This dunkel pours a semi-clear brown amber brew with an average off-white head that dissolves to a fine film with good lacing in glass. Aroma of sweet caramel, buckwheat honey, Hawaiian sweet bread and a touch of seasoned pepper. Taste is smooth, very lightly carbonated, medium to full body with a touch of flowery hops. Finish is smooth, creamy with a sweet hazelnut aftertaste with just barely and hop bitterness. Quite semi-sweet for a dark beer. Overall, it’s a fantastic well-balanced German style dark beer in America.

July 2nd, 2008 Sample platter. Roasted, almost nutty aroma with a hint of smoke. Creamy head atop a hazy brown brew. Light smokey taste with a even lighter bitter finish. Excellent balance. Medium bodied. True to style. Another great beer from Das Bierhaus.

Sep 29, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. The beer was dark brown with a small amount of foam. In the flavor and aroma I got burnt malt/caramel malt along with some alcohol.

Another solid offering from Das Bierhaus. Brown color with roasted malts on the notch. Faint earthiness on the very roasted malt body. A touch sweet

Ordered this at the brewpub as part of a sampler. Aroma: nutmeg, roasted nut, and maple syrup. Very smooth palate and easy drinking. A rich malty beer and a good one.

On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a hazy dark copper mahogany with a nicely-lacing white head. Aroma of dark caramely sweet malt with a light noble hoppy presence. Body starts fairly full and dark malty sweet with a touch of earthiness and noble bittering hops toward a smooth caramely finish. A nice dunkel.

After seeing Skyview’s raves, I decided to head down to Menomonie and check out Das Bierhaus for myself. I ordered the sampler, in which I got about 4 oz. each of all five of Das Bierhaus’ beers for the very reasonable price of $5. I have the name of this one listed as "Das Bierhaus Munich Dunkel." Lightly roasted malt aroma of chocolate and raisins. Pours a cloudy brown with an amber hue and off-white head. Produces extensive lacing. Appears to be unflitered. Very cool look. Nice, simple, chocolatey and caramely flavors. Dry, hoppy finish. Hoppy and roasted bitter aftertaste. Light to medium body. Smooth in the palate. Like all of Das Bierhaus’ beers, the Munich Dunkel is true to the style and a quality brew.
