Warsteiner Premium Dunkel

Brewed by Warsteiner Brauerei
Style: Dunkel
Warstein, Germany

Deep ruby red, biege head, fair lace. Nose is malt, the start malt sweet, the top is light, the finish is lightly hopped, dry, acidic, moderately carbonated, a good beer, but a bit ’Lite’ for me.

Dark caramel color with a creamy head formation and a malty aroma. The taste is slightly nutty, with hints of caramel, a touch of chocolate, and fresh malts. Nicely balanced finish with a subtle touch of hops.

Quite malty with a unusually dry finish compared with the becks dunkel version which happens to be quite sweet. Less hoppy than the becks dark, yet more robust with a more pronounced roasted malt flavor... nice, light body as well. Of all the grocery store dark brands, this is highly recommended.

Tastes as if they added dark food coloring to the regular Warsteiner. Roasted notes are very light in this beer, and altogether simply tastes like the Warsteiner Premium Verum. Low bitterness in the finish. Easy to drink, but a bit watery.

Clear brown color topped by a low creamy head. Nutty taste. Surprisingly refreshing light medium body. Better as it warms.

A nice darker beer...it’s a serious lager, and it’s got a nice afteraste to it. Not much of a head on it, but good consistency.

Decent head that is creamy on top. Nice lacing. Aroma is a little earthy with some roasted malts. Color is a nice dark brown. Flavor is a little bland but refreshing for a dark beer with some more malts. Finish leaves a slight metallic aftertaste but is smooth. An ok dunkel but nothing special.

Dark brown pour with a smaller head with nice lace. Caramel malts mostly, some roasted as well. Light hops in the nose. The flavor has mostly roasted malts, though the caramel shows through a bit. Slightly hoppy. Palate is watery, body a bit thin, finishing malty.
