Tap @ 1516 Brewing Company, Vienna.
Pours dark amber with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has sweet rye bread and subdued caramel. Fine, light mouthfeel. The flavour is much less sweet than the aroma, lightly roasted with a fine, clear hops character. Some rye bread. Ends off with sweet caramel and good hoppiness. Nice one.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Toasted malts and chestnuts ride a toffee wave until a pleasant hop spiciness lathers the last half of this interesting Dunkel.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam covers the clear russet.
-The end result is very drinkable and different from other Vienna Dunkels.
-A little diacetyl is perceived in the nose.
-This is well balanced throughout.

On tap at the brewpub.

Fad på brewpubben. Mørk rav med råhvidt skum. Let duft af gær Duft og smag af karamel, choko og kaffe, rugbrød og lidt grantræer. God eftersmag som ikke forsvinder lige med det sammeog fin afstemt humle. Fakitsk rigtig god.

<i>Draught at the brewpub. </i> Nut brown, creamy head. Roasty buttery malt aroma. Fairly sweet with gentrly rounded mouthfeel. Carefully roasty buttery malt passes by edgeless and pleasant. Traditional Austrian low bitterness opens up for some molasses in the finish.

Draught at the brewpub.
Pale brown coloured, small off-white head, light roasted and buttery nose. Mild chocolate, molasses and fruity taste with pleasant woody notes. Weak in hops, but fairly malty. Good dunkel.
