bluekuma (94), London, Greater London, England
Jul 21, 2007 Bottle conditioned. Dark ruddy brown with thin, lasting white head. Aroma of tart fruit, coffee & hints of yeast. Medium bodied with good conditioning. Tastes almost like a mild with the addition of an un-mild like tart edge; plenty of roasty, cocoa-y flavours with a long tarty finish. Enjoyed it.

Apr 24, 2007 Dark brown with an off white head. Yeast andd toffee malt aroma. Rather a grim and uncompromising initial taste, sour and earthy. But there are undercurrents of an ashy grainy dryness as well. Not a favourite to be honest.

Jul 27, 2006 Bottle conditioned. Dark brown colour with a slim off-white head. Aroma is malt and chocolate. Taste is sour, masking most everything else. There is some maltiness in there, but hard to tell. Not impressed.

Apr 22, 2006 Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are malty with chocolate and quite a degree of sourness. Must be tainted. Flavours are equally sour with lots of grapefruit. Not especially malty. Surely not flavours that a Dunkel should have. Would like to try a well served cask pint.

Feb 28, 2006 London Gathering Nov 05: Dark copper with a light tan head. Mildly malty aroma, similar flavour with a few choc notes. A bit chalky in feel, but perfectly drinkable.
