Brewed by Cervejaria Sudbrack
Style: Dunkel
Blumenau, Brazil

Savannah, Ga. - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 oz bottle. Dark copper pour, khaki colored head, some lacing. Sweet aroma - some chocolate, raisins, hints of molasses. Flavor is quite full-bodied - some pipe tobacco, raisins, caramel, cola. Good rib sticking Dunkel. Thick enough mouthfeel. Color me slightly impressed.

12 oz bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Poured a clear dark brown color. Only a bit of light came through creating ruby colored highlights. Head was light tan and dissipated quickly, settling to a skimpy ring. There wasn’t any lace left behind at then end. Aroma was a pleasant mix of dark chocolate, roasty malt, and hints of molasses and smoke. Sweet and roasty on the tongue with a dominant chocolate flavor. There was also light smoked bacon and a touch of coffee. I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

In the bottle from Beertopia. Pours a dark brownish black color with an ecru colored head. Has a mild roasted aroma and an even milder roasted malt flavor. This would have rated higher if they called it a Vienna style as it seems to be closer to the mark on that one. Has a slight bit of toasted flavor that works for it in the finish, but overall, a middle of the road beer.

Bottle. Dark ruby black beer with a tan head. Caramel, malt, and slight hay aroma. Caramel malt with a bit of roastiness and chocolate and backing smokiness. Medium body. Lingering caramel and earth with malt.

Aroma of brown sugar and roasted malt, garnet,a small toffee head. Taste is roasty malt, some pleasant bitterness from the hops. Light bodied, balanced and bitter. Very tasty.

This was a nice dunkel, not as smooth as some, slightly watery, but still had a good flavor. Lightly roasty chocolate flavor that builds as it warms. Fruity finish with just a light hopping to balance it out. Pours a beautiful mahogany with a soft khaki head.
