Bottle. Smalll tan head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, transparent, fast rising carbonation, and a reddish brown hue. The aroma was malt, dark fruits, some toffee, and semi-sweet. The flavor was malt, sweet, dark fruits, and nutty. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodies. Easy to driink but nothing special about this beer IMO that left me wanting this again and there are better to drink of this style IMO.

Jul 16, 2008 Bottled. Pours dark muddy brown with a light brown head. Aroma is sweet malts, bread, and toasted bread. Flavor is very malty and sweet with some vanilla/butter. Really good malt body. Perhaps a tinge of vanilla. Overall it is a sweet malty beer that loses some sweetness through the experience.

Jun 27, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a medium sized head of finely sized tan colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a strongly carbonated transparent dark brown colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was soft with mild brown malt notes. The mouth feel was tingly and crisp from start to finish.

Jun 11, 2008 This pours a nice clear brown with a small soft tan head. There is a great caramel malt aroma. It has a nice sweet subtle nuttiness in the flavor, possibly with a little vanilla. The mouthfeel is about what you’d expect from a dunkel. It finishes very nicely and leaves a little sweetness on your palate. Overall it’s an enjoyable easy-drinking beer.
