Einbecker Dunkel

Brewed by Einbecker Brauhaus
Style: Dunkel
Einbeck, Niedersachsen, Germany

Had the U.S. labelled Schwarzbier. Lighter in flavor than I had anticipated, but had some nice roasted malt and burnt coffee flavors. Not much in hops. Pours a very nice dark brown color with ruby hints.

Rather a faint shadow of my preferred black beers. The color tends toward red-brown, and the aroma was faint; the taste is properly dry but thin. Just average.

Black, stoutish appearance. A very nice dunkel. Malty and bitter. Velvety and flavourful. Very good and enjoyable.

Faint and unfortunately typical lager smell. Looks super dark brown with moderate head, lots of lacing. Nutty with some sweet syrup flavors. Not terrible stuff.

Good dark color with good head and some lacing. Smell was more like a grain/bread smell than anything else. Now after say all the good things, the taste was disappointing. It tasted like a nothing special light beer.

Nice dark brown with what seem to be some dark greens/greys. Interesting color I havent seen much of. Small fizzy head, very clear body. Aroma of hops (hallertauer possibly), and some faint yeast. Begins with a zip of carbonation and has hints of cane sugar, anise and hops. Pretty crisp finish with a slightly chewy body that is prone to thinning as it warms. A good beer, but as has been said, nothing terribly unique.

Pleasant diversion - but nothing exciting or unusual. Light tea colored appearance with a thin off-white head. No real aroma. Slighty watery palate. Faint flavors of nuts and that's about it. Nothing distracting in the finish - call this one boring.

Grainy malt aroma, just a hint of polecat. Dings for the green potato-masher bottle. A somehow artificial fruitiness to the malty flavor. Some astringency, straw. Not a whole lot of roast or chocolate or dark flavorings. Light bodied. Drinks pretty easily though.
