Strangebrewer (208), Chatham, Ontario, Canada Mar 26, 2009 bottle. Poured dark brown with tight bubbled tan head. Aroma is roasty with raison. Highly carbonated thin mouthfeel. Sweet caramel with a bitter chocolate hint and a slight smoke finish. Not overly bitter. FatPhil (3443), Espoo, Finland Mar 22, 2009 500ml bottle (BeerAngel.de)
Lovely deep brown, large beige head. Not much aroma. Soft carbonation, sweet smooth palate, but heading towards sticky. Taste has pleasant burnt roastiness, with some toffee and a few fruity retronasals. Finish is very pleasantly hopped though. Needs more body, perhaps, or slightly higher attenuation to dry and crispen the palate more. Do not drink too cold, the good stuff comes out as it warms. swooper (420), Kladno, Czech Republic Mar 20, 2009 caramel aroma, hazy, dark colour, medium body, medium sweet, medium body, fizzy zvikar (413), Tel-Aviv, Israel Mar 19, 2009 From bottle, Nice chocolate color with creamy head, chocolate plum aroma with malty vanilla notes, some chocolate with malts dark fruits and some spicy hoppy finish, medium texture, Nice One. thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Mar 18, 2009 Dark pour, minimal head that dissipated quickly. Aromas of well not much i guess roasted wheat. Lots of carbonation and not much flavor. Not a big fan of this dunkel. buzzoven (333), Japan Mar 16, 2009 Strawberry jam smell with a yeasty cola taste. Not so great but the alcohol is well hidden and I was a bit shocked to read the label and discover the 7.2% abv. Not a highly memorable drinking experience, this one. luttonm (274), Belgrade, Serbia Mar 16, 2009 500ml bottle. Dark brown pour with thick, foamy cola head. nose is sweet, dark malts. Complex sweet, rusty-metallic taste which reminds me of some weak attempts at imp stouts. slightly sticky and syrupy, very robust. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Mar 15, 2009 500ml bottle. Murky dark brown with a tight tan head. Wheaty nose, mildly malty and a bit roasty, sweet banana. Lightly roasty flavor, seems just a tad thin in the body. Carob and banana notes, light esters. Seems maltier than most. Nice.
