Warsteiner Premium Dunkel

For some reason, this is way better than the regular Pilsner version. I know that it’s dark and therefore it should be more flavorable but still the difference is amazing. I really enjoy this beer and would recommend it on tap in particular.

0.5l can. Dark, transparent brown with no head. Kind of looks like a cola, actually. Smells strongly of malt and hops. Tastes strongly of malt, with notes of nuts. Palate is smooth but the carbonation leaves your tongue tingling.

Bottle. Transparent brown with minimal head. Slight maltiness mixed with skunky lager aroma. Mildly malty flavor, with balanced hops. I agree that there is not much in the way of distinct flavors here. Refreshing but nothing special.

Bottle. Easy to drink. Dark beer with light flavor especially for dunkel. Find the warsteiner flavor interesting: not skunky but moving in that direction, easy to drink but defininative slightly malty nuttiness that sticks with you. Like it, but not much in the dunkel department.

Dark in appearance with lighter tan head that disappears quickly. Thin bodied, not a heavy beer. Malty with mild hops. Any noticeable flavor would be nuts. Not an extraordinary beer by any means. The Germans can do much better!

Jan. 2006 - Pour was obviously a very dark brown color, with smallish head. Roasted aroma was there, but not overwhelming. The most prominent feature of this beer was the very, very carbonated mouthfeel. Flavor was very mild, which I didn’t mind so much since I’m not a big dunkel fan. But I could see how a real German beer aficionado could be left wanting more.

Another great aroma beer that takes me back to Deauchland. Malty and cereal-ly, this stuff is really good as long as you like malt.

Not very carbonated, but an excellent flavor. Rich amber color, little to no head. Starts full-flavored and ends pleasantly fruity.
