Bottled@RBESG’06, ABV 4.9%. Ruby red, small creamy steady tan head. Papery, slightly roasted nose. Carbonated, light roasted metallic flavor. Quite "industrial" dunkel.

Bottle. Poured dark brown with a large frothy light brown head that was lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted malt toffee aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium roasted sweet flavor with a sweet finish of moderate duration.

My first Dunkel. Malty as expected, but not too sweet, more like toffee and raising than chocolate. Nice hop notes in there too, giving it some nice bitterness to keep you on your toes. Could be improved by making it more complex, but as is it is highly enjoyable.

Draught Frothy, off-white head which diminishes totally. Clear, deep-caramel brown coloured. Faint malty aroma with some notes of hops. Lightly sweet initial flavour, moderately bitter finish. The flavour has also some saltiness, but not very hard or annoying, Lightly bodied. This is rather complex. A nice German Dunkel.

The aroma has coffee, chocolate, raisins, and caramel. The appearance is dark with a medium foamy head. The flavor has dark fruit, cardboard, chocolate, burnt malt, and bitter hops. The palate is average just like this beer.

Coffee and roated tones with a typical German taste. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Smooth, slightly skunky bottle. Good value for the $.

This beer could be a hit with a "whip out your Einbecker" campaign. Pours black with a small tan head. Its a dark red when held up to the light. All malt in the nose, a touch of chocolate and toffee. Very smooth and crisp, just the slightest touch of roasted flavor in the aftertase. Hints of coffee. Hop bitterness in the corner of the mouth. Very nice.

Bottled. Aroma of grass, herbal and smoked when warming up. Brown color, beige head, good lace. Light sweet, bitter to roasted coffee bitterness in the finish, very herbal. The bitterness is a bit harsh/metallic. But overall a very nice surprise and unlike most - too sweet - dunkels in Germany.
