Bottle at GBBF 2007. Very deep ruby with lasting beige head. Buttery aroma, toffee. Not sure I like it. Quite a bit of ashtray. OK in mouth. Too toffeeish.

A Mes rate: Bottle at GBBF. Dark chestnut colour with a head that fell pretty quickly. Smoky sweet malt and a little fatty. Slightly oily and a bit of caramel. Authentic dunkel but nothing too special.
