Jun 4, 2006 Had this on draught in South Barrington, Illinois. Clear, dark reddish color with a moderate white head, nose of baked bread and some chocolate notes, some peanuts and caramel in the taste with a somewhat dry afterfeel . Not bad.

Dec 6, 2005 Deep copper over pale mahogany, a small, tan head leaves slippery lace. Roasted grain aroma, almost burnt, with light caramel and milk chocolate. Flavor is mild sweetness along with thorough nuttiness and more chocolate notes to finish. Carbonation left an inappropriate crisp feeling and a gassy aftermath.
My bottle sez this is contract brewed by Capital Brewing, so it would be fun to sit down with this next to Capital’s Munich Dark. <font size=-4>Bottle from the General Store at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/south- Restaurant and Brewing Company,

Aug 29, 2005 Translucent chestnut brown in color with no head. Aroma is a light malt settlement, consisting of caramel, Munich, chocolate and roasted malts and the respective qualities indicative of each. Nutty flavor with some mild caramel and toffee sweetening. A small, distant accent of cocoa and a hint of acidity skid by barely noticed. Chestnuts do a little dance, and unsalted, lackluster walnuts take over to finish the show. A very light rendition.

Oct 28, 2009 Draft at Millrose Restaurant. Small tan head with good retention, transparent orange body, no carbonation observed, and very little lacing. The aroma was sweet, caramel, malty, and toffee notes. The flavor was malty, caramel, sweet, hint of chocolate, toffee, hint of nuts, and semi-dry finish. The mouthfeel was tingly and this is a thin, light bodied beer. A rather boring Dunkel as it lacked real character and is easily forgettable.
