Ettaler Kloster Dunkel

Brewed by Klosterbrauerei Ettal
Style: Dunkel
Ettal, Germany

Bottle. Ruddy copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel and fruits and oddities. Medium body with mild carbonation. There’s caramel, there’s fruit, there’s not a great deal of bitter. Yet the finish seems dry, and there seems to be bitter. Rather light overall, but it is a really good lager. Try it and see what you think.

Bottle 50cl. Pours a mahagony-coloured brew with nice head and appetizing performance. Overwhelming impression of complexness, dried fruits, tobacco, toffee, tart in the finish. A masterpiece!

This was a pretty malty beer, with some rich caramel and toffee notes initially and upon first it’s great, but as you continue drinking, it becomes kind of thin, but remains pretty drinkable, just not a lot to it.

Couldn’t place the flavor, but someone below mentioned "biscuit" and now all I can taste is those biscuits you get in a cardboard tube. Pretty thin. Bit of a flavor going on and the mouthfeel has something there, but not great. A little caramel? I don’t know. Not terrible, not great.

500ml bottle. pours clear auburn with pretty much no head. a nice caramelly aroma. flavor is toasted biscuit and touch of toffee. fizzy thin mouth feel. a pretty nice dunkel.

16.9oz bottle. Pours clear copper in color with light brown head. Aroma sweet, caramel and malt. Taste sweet and roasted malt with dry finish.

Draught @ Beer Table, Brooklyn. Dark brown, big head, medium duration. Nose is malty, sweet. Highly carbonated, almost effervescent. Toasted malt, sweet, bread. Medium body. Finish is sweet. Could drink all night.

500ml bottle. Pours into my krug a clear mahogany with a big, bubbly tan head. Sweet, lightly nutty caramel nose, sweet maltiness. Lightly roasty malt flavors, caramel, sweet and light, a bit of earth. Easy drinking, for sure. Somewhat dry finish. Not bad.
