Well I sure was surprised to see this is also the dunkel. I’d sure peg it as a schwarz. Pours a very dark purplish red, small head, very bubbly in the glass. Aroma of sweet chocolate, hints of cinnamon and pecan pie. Flavor more caramelized, with some bittersweet chocolate. A bit over-carbonated, with a carbonic bite/twang. Could be smoother.

Draft @ Hop Devil Grill. Really malty, roasted aroma with cereal. Taste is weirdly hoppy with a lively carbonation. Flavors of lightly buttered toast, fresh grains, nuts and sugary sweetness. Not bad but I wouldn’t go back for a full pint.

Rather clear brownish black color with medium tan head. This has a very roasted nutty aroma to it with some hoppiness included. Malty taste with notes of caramelization, coffee, and a carbonated bubbly finish. I liked this Dukel though it was deceptively labeled as a Schwartzbier. Next thing you know I’ll find a pale lager in a bottle labeled Imperial Stout, because it’s "Sexier".

Pours a nice deep brown with a quickly dissipating tan head. Nutty, coffee aroma, with perhaps a little bit of fruit. Flavor is of coffee with sweeter caramel notes. Palate is fairly lively.

Dark brown color, not much head. Overwhelming roasty coffee aroma with some chocolate. Taste is of dark chocolate, butterscotch, and finishes like caramel. A little thin for my taste.

Surprisingly yeasty aroma for a lager. Pours with a slight, short-lived head. Light body, sweet without being syrupy, minimal hops, but plenty of yeast. Soft palate with a very clean finish.

Nice flavored brew! The palate is a little thin, but the flavor isn’t overly malty like I was expecting. An overall unexciting brown ale tasting beer.

A German beer in honor and memory of Dortmunder. I drank this one tonight and thought what better way to honor Robert than to re-print his rating of the beer.

Bottled. Dark red/brown colour. Almost no head and no lace at all. Nutty, roastmalty aroma with a hint of liquorice and coffee. Flat, roastmalty taste ending in a nut-bitter finish. Lightbodied and slightly bland. Not enough carbonation, too, therefore underscoring the watery and lightbodied palate-impressions.

Wellsaid, Robert, you will be missed.
