Warsteiner Premium Dunkel

Brewed by Warsteiner Brauerei
Style: Dunkel
Warstein, Germany

Decent beer from a good German brewer. Aroma of malts and molasses. Malty, smoky taste with a dry finish. Decent session beer.

500 ml can caramel malty nose. good brown pour, wattery body, and mouthfeel, slightly hoppy, but quite malt flavour, meh, run of the mill dark lager, i was really let down when i saw hop extract in the ingredients list.

330 ml, bb 20 Jun 08. Three finger head with a translucent ruby-chestnut body. Molasses and roasted corn aroma. Similar flavor with a touch of sourish yeast for a little complexity. Near-medium body is smooth, slightly chalky-dry, and a little tingly on the tongue. Fairly typical example of the style.

12 oz. brown bottle. Poured out the color of brown shoe polish, with a minimal white head on it. Aromas are of roasted malts, some yeastiness, and not much else. I can barely detect a smattering of hops, but it is fleeting. Tastes are of malts, some coffee notes, yeast, and a slight, but quickly disappearing note of hops. Slightly bitter tasting, but it’s more from the malts than the hops. Mouth feel is smooth enough and the finish slightly bitter, but this is essentially a macro dunkel. Drinkable enough but not complex.

Clear dark brown with a thick long lasting white head. Very grainy aroma. Smells almost like honey wheat bread. Tastes like a hearty bread with some sweetness and hops. Simple but good.

Good beer. I had this after tasting Hobgoblin and it didn’t quite match up but wasn’t too far. A dark and smokey taste, not as nutty or fruity. A good rich beer full of flavor.

Light aroma. Really rich color. Light body but with a nice malty flavor and slightly bitter after taste. Solid Dunkel that isn’t too difficult to find compared to other Dunkels.

draft at hennings. poured dark brown with red outskirts. speaking of skirts - this brew is kinda weak. flavor had slight rusted metal taste, which could have been from the taps at hennings. not much of an impression left.
