Warsteiner Premium Dunkel

On tap at the Oasis. Nice smooth caramel flavor with hints of chocolate. Worth trying repeatedly.

On tap at Flying Saucer Little Rock. I’m not sure why this is getting such low ratings. Maybe it’s better on draft? Or maybe I have a different palate... Either way, this beer was incredibly smooth and fluffy. Thick tan had on a dark carmel body. Chocolate, raisins, clove, toasted malt, and some cola.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown with a moderate off-white head. Light but pleasant aroma of malt. Flavor is also malt with a bit of sweetness followed up with some hops bitterness. The flavor quickly dies, which is a bit surprising for a darker beer. A tad thin. Definitely better than lawn mower beer, but not quite what I would call a good session beer either.

THOUGHTS: I used to love this beer and while I still like it, it doesn’t even compare to Penn Dark, which I tried the same night. But it will still be one of my favorite session beer. It is a good beer that at least in NJ is very affordable. PA prives for it are more than double. One of the first imports or speciality beers I bought on a regular basis. Just a little too much mustiness underlying in the aroma and flavor keep it from being great, and that might just be from travel. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a meium brown with orange highlights and a small to average, white head that mostly diminished but left fair lacing. The aroma was light to moderate hay, strw and carmel malts with moderate to heavy grassy hops and moderate doughy yeast. The initial flavor is light to moderate sweetness and light bitterness, while the finish is heavily sweet and moderately bitter and sour with an average duration. The gody is light to medium with a watery, yet dry texture fizzy carbonation and slightly chalky, lightly astringent finish.

Coloração preta avermelhada, creme bege não persistente. Levemente tostada, tanto no aroma quanto no sabor. Carbonatação média.

Beer pours a brown ale color with notes of malt on the nose. It gives you a clean flavor with some stornger notes of hops but yet drinks quite clean.

Not quite as strong or bitter tasting as I thought it would be, especially for a darker beer. Although a good beer, I’m not sure it merits the almost 10 dollars per 6 bottles (for some reason the 12 pack is only a couple of bucks more, but hard to find). Overall a tasty delight.

Uhhh not much here. Pours out like flat coca cola with no head. araom was somewhat malty and a little sweet. flavor was extremly thin. I was very disappointed in this brew.
