Warsteiner Premium Dunkel

Brewed by Warsteiner Brauerei
Style: Dunkel
Warstein, Germany

Poured a hazy reddish brown with a large eggshell white head. The nose was of wheat, toffee, banana and a little skunkiness. The taste started with mild hops, bitter cocoa and toffee, while the end brought caramel and clove. The finish was sweet and slightly hoppy. The feel was medium, as was the carbonation. This one is worth drinking. It has a little more character than a lot of other macro beers, so give it shot if you get the opportunity.

Beautiful dark mahogany with a small quickly disappearing eggshell white head. Lightly roasted nose with an additional aroma resembling saaz hops. Taste is of roastymalt, caramel and some hops. not much else. Moderately sweet, not much bitterness detedted in the aftertaste. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. No lacing or head retention. Overall drinkable buy not really special.

Draught @ Fox & Hound: This one pours with a decent sized white head on it. It doesn’t linger long. There was no real lacing to it. The color is a ruby-tinged brown. The aroma was OK, although not too strong. notes of molasses, caramel, maybe a hint of roastiness. Slightly less than a medium body. The taste was slightly sweet with notes of the caramel and molasses. A hint of hops for balance. Not very exciting, but very drinkable.

I tried this beer on March 12, 2008 after purchasing from my local LCBO outlet. The beer poured a dark translucent reddish-brown with a 1" head which disappeared quickly. The first aromatic flavour that hit me was molasses. There was also some sweet malt and cherry hints. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with ample carbonation. The flavour was malty/grainy with some unplaceable sourness. An alright beer.

Pours a deep brown with a thin, creamy head. Sweet aroma with lots of honey and malt. The flavor is very similar, with lots of sweetness and a strong honey flavor. Mouthfeel is smooth, but a little watery and overly carbonated. Not bad, but not something I’d go out of my way to buy again.

Deep dark brown pour with a healthy head that dissipates quickly. Strong appearance accopmanied by an equally strong aroma. Sweet and malty with caramel and molasses just slightly offset by hints of floral hops. Definitely medium bodied, if not medium to full. Smooth on the tongue, clear of any biting hoppiness. Taste of roasted malt dominates with hints of sweet fruits but overall very mild.

Nice beer for a mega brew. Pours a creamy tah head. Beer pours a nice brown color. Good malty flavor and beer is well balanced. Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Decent brew.

Pours with a foamy, off-white head covering a brown body. Aroma is buttery with roast malts. Taste is salty, and malty-sweet with a fizzy mouthfeel.
