When Vanilla Coke comes out, I suspect it’ll taste a lot like this. Loads of vanilla and cola in both the nose and flavor. Nicely creamy. If it does taste like this, I’m kinda looking forward to Vanilla Coke.

Pours out dark with a tiny head. Lots of cola and sweet malty flavors. Honestly this beer is delicious. This beer isn’t going to knock your socks off or test your hop threshold but it’s absolutely tastey and I like it a great deal.

Bottle. Dark brown color, opaque, medium head. Caramel or toffee aroma with hints of chocolate and roast. Full flavored. Bready, toasty, some roast and a nuttiness. A touch too sticky sweet. Full bodied. Very good.

500ml bottle. Pours an opaque black with some floaty white particulates. Minimal head quickly fades. Mellow, watery, and smooth. Chocolate toffee taste is there, slightly burnt. The finish is sweet with a hint of pungency. Minimal to no hop presence. An authentic example of the style.

Pull tab cap, reminds me of popping open a Mickey’s grenade back in the day. Yikes. This luckily tastes a lot better. Dark brown, touch of red, decent head fades slow. Aroma is bread and chocolate. Flavor is matching, with a bit of straight up malt and some caramel. Decent stuff for those who like a thicker dunkel.

I just love the pull tab cap on this 500ml bottle. Dark brown, though clear. Nice dense tan head that collapses to a ring. The aroma is baking bread, light bit of caramel and chocolate. The flavor is nutty with caramel and chocolate. Definte hints of root beer though I am not getting any vanilla as several previous raters have mentioned. Fairly thick mouthfeel, are almost all Eggenberg’s pretty thick? Decent enough, though the Capital Dunkel I had the other day is way better.

Bottle with a pull tab cap. That’s a new one for me. Pours dark ruby-laden brown with a small foamy tan head. Nose is caramel, sweet malts, light vanilla, and some light maple notes. Taste is vanilla, caramel, creamy sweet malts, and some light root beer notes that have been previously mentioned. Body is light-medium with minimal carbonation feel. Finishes sweet with light cola, vanilla, caramel and sweet malts. Not bad at all!

500 mL bottle had in Vienna on 6/3. Darker brown color of any other dunkel I had while in Europe. Nutty, roasty aroma. Flavor was nutty and caramel. Lightly dry finish. Carbonation was lively on the tongue but not overdone. Definitely the best dunkel I had while in Europe and one that I wouldn’t mind drinking again.
