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.

Oct 6, 2008 Dark brown color...almost opaque. Fluffy head, though it fades a bit fast. Aroma of sweet malt, with just a hint of bitterness. Slightly sweet malt flavor up front...very crisp, light mouthfeel. Back is joined by a subtle hop bitterness, with somewhat of a sweet aftertaste. Pretty basic dark pilsner...very easy drinking, while only possessing a slight complexity.

Oct 2, 2008 Draft @ Schmidts, Columbus German Village. A very sweet dunkel that reminded me of the least interesting Austrian example with its plummy notes, though the mineral side of this German rendition did seem out of place. After a few sip, it really tastes pretty much like raisin bread over which you’d throw a small amount of chocolate powder. Light-medium bodied, not so easy to drink as you may think. Fair, but I would not bother again.

Sep 30, 2008 Canned sample. Cola coloured, with medium carbonation. Aromas of minerals, stale malts, and a bit of lemon. Flavors are of whole wheat toast, a bit of roasted malt, and a bit of red apple. Farily dry finishing, albeit somewhat chemical-like. Not nearly roasty or flavorful enough.

Sep 30, 2008 Can (500ml). Pours a deep ruby-amber with a large frothy tan head. Aroma’s mild, sweet, sugary and fruity along with caramel malt and a hint of roastiness. Flavour’s watery but not bad at all: Very lightly roasted malt, sweet, some nuts and a light bitter finish. A bit of sourness in there too. Light to average bodied. Not bad, it’s easy to drink and a decent effort from these guys.
