RomanW70 (284), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Jul 17, 2008 Had at Gurtel Brau in vienna on 7/1. Pours dark aramel colore with a smallish white head. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel, and cocoa. Flavor is sweet, but not sickly sweet. Very drinkable, if unexciting, beer.
DandyWolfFloyd (259), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2008 A nice aroma of full dark malts and some nice adjuncts of perhaps some caramel. It’s appearance is dark brown, with a thin white head. It’s full in flavor with a nice malty taste, very dark roasted malts. The beer is very smooth, but a bit filling. A great Austrian 1st. Ober (405), Best, Netherlands Oct 6, 2008 On draught in a bar in Vienna. A clear dark red colored beer, with a thick beige head. The aroma of caramel malt met a touch of cerries. Also some hop. The taste of caramel, dry bitter and raisins. The aftertaste is a little dry bitter. spikester (442), Salem, Oregon, USA Aug 25, 2008 With some trepidation I popped the top on this 12 ounce bottle. (The best by date was 11-2006) No worries though, it poured dark brown with reddish highlights. The modest head was a light tan. Some lacings. Aroma was roast malt aroma.
Tasted coffee, cocoa, roasted malts and a bit of bitter hops. Very nice dunkel. Might have to try a fresher one sometime to compare my impressions. And at 4.5% abv it is definately sessionable. Wim (792), Turnhout, Belgium Aug 24, 2008 dark brown coloured body with a off white head a sweet roasted malty aroma a sweet malty fruity taste with a malty sweet finish Yves (454), Beerse, Belgium Aug 24, 2008 Dark brown coloured beer with small off-white head. Malty roasted aroma. Full bit creamy palate. Finish is bitter and roasted.
