Warsteiner Premium Dunkel

Brewed by Warsteiner Brauerei
Style: Dunkel
Warstein, Germany

Dark brown and clear. Not the strongest head. A little watery at first, but carbonation and texture seemed to improve as I drank. Interesting aroma. Nice and roasty with sweet black licorice notes. Surprisingly refreshing and clean and rather easy to drink.

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.

had it on tap at a local bar. Not a lot of hop taste.. more malty. Was smooth and refreshing overall.

Smooth drinking lager, decent flavor but horrible after-taste. I tasted it well after it was finished.

a very solid dunkel. Not a bad price, and certainly drinkable. I could drink a 12 pack in a night and be fine.

Rating: 3.2/5.0
Drinkability: 8/10
Score: *4

Appearance is a darkish/red. Flavor is clean with a slight sourness and a distinctive yeastiness. Some bitterness but not very full bodied. This is not bad for a mass produced European beer.

Here the trademark Warsteiner graininess works to better effect. While the body is a bit thin, the toasted flavors come out rather nicely to make for an enjoyable (though perhaps not thrilling) dunkel.
