12 oz. brown bottle. Poured out the color of brown shoe polish, with a minimal white head on it. Aromas are of roasted malts, some yeastiness, and not much else. I can barely detect a smattering of hops, but it is fleeting. Tastes are of malts, some coffee notes, yeast, and a slight, but quickly disappearing note of hops. Slightly bitter tasting, but it’s more from the malts than the hops. Mouth feel is smooth enough and the finish slightly bitter, but this is essentially a macro dunkel. Drinkable enough but not complex.

Jul 15, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Pours reddish brown with creamy tan head. Aroma is caramel and roasted malts. Flavor is of caramel, toffee and roasted malts. My first dunkel so unsure what to expect. This was a little watery for my liking but with caramel and roasted malts it is enjoyable.

Jul 8, 2008 Taste 7/8. Have had this a dozen times. Looks: Brown to black body, with a small off white foam. Aroma: Muted straw malt. Soft water. Taste: Warsteiner with a roasted straw presence. Mild hop cleans up after the stickiness and soft water. A little sweet.

Jul 6, 2008 Pour was medium dark with light tan head. Aroma of light caramel and malt. Flavor was watered down grain finishing lightly bitter and sweet. Clean and refreshing but nothing special. Won’t buy again.

does not count  Jun 30, 2008 This was my first Dunkel I tried, having previously had Warsteiner’s Premium Verum. The aroma was slight and of roasted malts. When I drank this at home, it was straight out of the bottle, so I have little input on the appearance. I liked the overall flavor. It was mostly of roasted malts and a slight coffee. However, I was expecting a slightly stronger roasted taste. Nothing was wrong with the taste, though. The texture was very smooth and drinkable, though a bit watery. Overall an enjoyable beer but nothing spectacular.
