This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of fine to medium sized light brown colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was transparent softly carbonated and dark brown colored. The aroma was nice with malty brown beer like notes. The month feel was smooth and mildly tingly. The flavors contained notes of roasted brown beer malts and it reminded me of a Doppelbock. A good dunkel but not outstanding.

Bottle. Small sized creamy and smooth ivory head and fine-large sized bubbles that mostly diminished. Opaque and mahogany hue. Malty, caramel and sweet aroma. Sweet, malty, roasty, and nutty flavor. Tingly mouthfeel. Medium bodied beer with sparse lacing.

Poured almost brown with a thich tan head. Sweet malt, licorice aroma. Nutty, sweet and nice roasted flavor. A bit thin bodied but worth another go-round.

Hazy, dark ruby lager with a mid-sized, creamy, khaki head. Spotty lacing. Milk chocolate notes in the aroma. Lots of toasted, burnt, bitter, buttermilk notes in the flavor. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. Lengthy, bitter-sweet, tangy finish.

(Bottled on 4/02/04) Coco aroma. Medium body and mainly malty. While an ok dark lager the Munich designation of this beer is untrue.

Sweet malty aroma...Chocolate, nuts, carmel, a little breadiness. Very dark medium bodied brew with a quickly disappearing tan head. A little harsh at first taste. The finish is very pleasant. All of the aromas also present in the finish. Notalush made a comment about it tasting homebrewed which I totally agree with. A buddy of mine is still trying to find his nitch brewing and all his beers have that initial bad bitterness that’s present here. Even after breathing a few minutes, it’s still there but not as bad. From what I understand, that’s how a dunkel is supposed to taste.
