Warsteiner Premium Dunkel

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a clear, very deep reddish brown body with a finger-width, creamy, tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is semi-sweet caramels and lots of fruits. Has a distinct lager yeast smell as well. Similar flavor. Slightly metallic and tastes like a lager with a more nutty, deeper caramel taste. Very sweet with lots of nuts and fruits as well. Just a light amount of chocolate and semi-bitter roast comes in at the end with plenty of sweet fruits and malts lingering in the aftertaste. Dry, light bodied, and just a touch of carbonation keeps this very smooth. Overall, can’t really complain about this one. Nothing exceptional at all, but tasty enough.

Bottle. Previously described as weak coke.....that would be a fitting description. A poor beer.

This won’t take long cause I’m going to get rid of this as fast as possible. Plain brown beer that looks closer to weak coke, large foam-up and a death just as quick - odd pink??? Must be the lights in here today. Dusty smelling malts, caramel and darker fruit, very mild tobacco and an odd stink. The taste is a touch sour, tonic wwater like, some carbonation and off flavoured biscuity malts. Dry, light bodied beer with no finish. A total waste of money.

Poured a dark amber beneath a creamy white head, pinky finger thick only. Aroma was mostly malt, maybe with a wheat undertone, and taste was rather much the same. Mouthfeel was rich and solid, and despite the aforementioned malt, the finish was not overly sweet. A pretty nice beer, and I’m good for more.

Draft pitcher at Gustav’s, Dark clear pour. Caramel, biscuit on the nose. flavor is darker than I expected but still light on the tongue.

Draught at Gustav’s. Dark brown pour with a solid white head. Aroma almost entirely caramel malt with some light nuttiness. Flavor has a bit of roastiness, but mostly just standard malt. Not bad, very sessionable at the very least.

Bottle. Pours clear brown, with a massive head that fills the glass, and then some. The aroma is minimal, with malt, caramel and alcohol. Light and malty, typical of a German beer.
