Draught at Barcade, New York
Black color. A Dark Lager with some oxidisation. Balanced, with the oxidisation to play a positive role, but nothing special.

dark ruby, thin fine beige head,
sweet chocolate aroma with a light fruity character,
creamy body,
sweet tart malt flavor with a nice cherry character,
the dunkle was probably not intended to be a chocolate krek, but it turned out that way and is OK

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle... Clear, dark, ruby lager with a large, creamy, off-white head. Terrific retention. Very subtle aromas and flavors of toffee, chocolate, almonds and balancing, drying hops. Light-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Short, thin, clean finish. Refreshing and very drinkable for a lager.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft sample at MBGF. Dark brown color with large off-white fizzy head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate roasted malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium sweet roasted flavor with a medium sweet short finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pale darkish brown color with a large off-white head. Aroma of some toasted malts and maize. Starts mildly sugary sweet with a touch of roasted malts toward the finish. Clean and crisp without any off-flavors, not a bad dunkel, just not all that interesting either.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours brown with a huge tan head. This one’s a real gusher on opening. Smells of fresh fruit, some tartness. Tastes earthy with a cherry like finish. Very tingly mouthfeel.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from the Beer Yard. Lovely deep brown (ruby through light) pour with 2-finger fluffy khaki head. Aroma of roasty toasty dark malts, some tart cherries and cabernet hints, plus some berries and cacao. The flavor is roasty malty, tart, with some krieky and dry red winey characteristics, along with some of the same lactobacillus found in the amber ale. Medium palate, with more caramel malt as it finishes, along with some hops.
