Sweet fruity caramelly malt aroma. Deep orange, small mouldy head. Pleasant carbonation, smooth palate. Very caramelly bias to the malt body, and sweet fruity hops. Finish tingles nicely with bitterness. Perhaps over-sweet, but not sickly. Some cocoa and other spices too in places. Covers the 5.7% easily. Very tasty new-world-hop reinterpretation of the dunkel style.

very nice floral medium to strong hoppy aroma, faint caramel, citrussy notes too. quite fresh. hopped enough to make it interesting.
flavor is mildly bitter, floral hoppy, faint malty sweet, a little bit boring, but somewhat more bitter and hoppy than your average english beer, which it resembles. flavor indicates craftmanship to me. Nice bitter one. MiP (9097), Sønderborg, Denmark
