Revived version: Dark reddish-brown. Rich dark matl armoa. Hints of toffee, earthy malts. Full body. Clean.

Deep dark brown with a nice head. Malty sweet caramel aroma, and the flavor is a clean version of the same. Very pleasant easy drinking beer.

Dark amber colour, sticky white head. Very nice light fruity aroma, toasted malt, plums and a touch of chocolate. Flavour however, was very weak and watery. Light sweet malt but there was a strange waxy taste that I don’t like at all. Maybe this was off, but I had it at Volo like many others.

A dark clear brown dunkel with a mahogany hue. A wonderful aroma of ginger bread, vanilla, cinnamon hearts. In mouth, a light dunkel with bananas, cinnamon, a bit of ginger, well balanced. A great dunkel, atypical in nature. On tap at C’est What, March 21, 2009.

Draught at Volo. A clear red-amber with an off-white head. Aroma interesting - sour yeast, wood, nutty malt, some hops, turpentine? Flavour very wheaty/grainy, with roast malts, slighly harsh hop bitterness - medium bodied and a dark, oaky mouthfeel, tart and enjoyable. Liked it much better than my first taste in Feb/Mar ’05. ** update January 2007 - seems better than I remember - have to bump it a tad.

Yeasty aroma, initially some sweetness and grainess from the nutmeg or whatever. creamy mouthfeel though with thinness. It may have been nirotap without C’est What telling us. Sourness, yet Satisfying bitterness in aftertaste. Chocolate brown colour.

On tap (Volo) 500ml
Appearance :Brown –ruby copper with presentable rocky tanned top.
Nose :Mineral, fruity Saaz like aroma with grainy overtones. Refreshing.
Flavour/Palate:
Sweet base with clean gentle roast. Golden-brown malt. Sweet middle with slightly earthier finish. Perhaps a bit lighter stylistically than some murkier German dunkels but not shallower by any means. Clean classic.
