May 1, 2009 Bottle sampled at SF International Beer Fest. Copper color with an off-white head. Caramel malt and grain on the aroma. Flavor is bready German malt with light skunk (yes, they brought slightly skunked beer to a beer fest - damn green bottles). Light-medium body with high carbonation.

Apr 24, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney. Pours a clear dark brown with ruby hues, beige head. Aroma is kinda lighter then expected, malt, some toasted grain, caramel. Flavor is very much the same. Mouth feel is thinner then what I was expecting as well, medium body, slightly watery, high carbonation. Overall, I thought it was a pretty good beer.

Apr 23, 2009 Bottle. Medium sized very fizzy ivory head with poor retention, transparent, soft slow-rising carbonation, spotty lacing, and an orange-brown body. The aroma was malty, sweet, caramel, hint of hops, and a hint of dark fruits. The flavor was sweet, malty, some caramel, hint of hops, and finishes dry. The mouthfeel was smooth and this is a light bodied beer. A very easy to drink dunkel, not a lot of character IMO, would be a decent session beer, and a beer to have around to drink from time to time.
