Pours a big fluffy 3 finger tan head. Body is dark brown in color with lots of bubbles rising. Head retention and lacing are above average Aroma is of tons of sweet peach. There is also some malt in there but the main scent is very fruity, almost like candy Flavor is sweet but not overly. Fruity, juicy peaches with some of the yeast flavors of a dunkelweizen. Lightly toasted malt is also there with some dry pecans at the end. Hops are pretty non existant Mouth feel is lighter than most winter seasonal. Carbonation is right in the middle. Wish head would have stayed longer Overall this is a very good beer. Definitely one of a kind. The aroma and taste of the peaches really make this beer. The pecans dont play a big role but I like it that way. Wish this beer was available all year

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear deep mahogany color with a 3/4 finger thick light tan head. Light stringy lacing. Aroma is peaches. I’m not a peach fan, but I do like the aroma of this beer. Flavor is peaches and pecans. Wow! It doesn’t taste half bad. Light to medium body. No unpleasant lingering aftertaste. Nice.

Great peachy aroma. Doesn’t really taste like beer, tastes more like a fruity peach drink. Watery body with a red pour. Decent beer at best, but a good fruity holiday drink.

reddish brown "caramel added" coloring, pours a decent but quickly disappearing head. can smell the peaches a mile away. watery body without bitterness, tastes like peaches with maybe a whisper of a fatty pecan taste. the old dunkel was much, much better. probably wont be buying this again, but i suppose it’s decent if you really really like peaches.

Clear ruby/garnet color out of the bottle with a fizzy beige head. Nose of peach Jolly Ranchers. This is a sweet beer with lots of peach syrup, some malty toast and cinnimon. Not a bad Christmas beer, but the peach syrup is a little too thick for me.

Ridiculously incredible aroma and color. A bit fruity. It was like a really rich chocoloate cake: It was really good, but the more I drank I liked it less. I’m also not a fan of pecans, apricots, or peaches. I’d like the Dunkel back, please.

Not a bad winter beer...surprising. Dark chestnut pour with a decent eggshell head. Aroma is yesty, honey baked biscuit, and caramel. Quite tasty and has notes of brown sugar, pecan pie, cashews, and cherry skin. Medium mouthfeel...highly drinkable. Pretty good.

Huge thanks to headbanger. Nice dark amber color with a beige head. Very bready smell. Taste was cherries and nuts, alot of malt and caramel too. This was a great treat
