Pours dark reddish-brown with a fizzy head that disappears quickly. The aroma is kind of nutty with a slight cherry caramel smell. The beer is a bit nutty with a potent sweet caramel flavor that disappears quickly with a weak watery finish.

Draught as Schwarzer Hahn. Frothy off-white good mostly lasting head. Brown colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Very roasted and strong chocolate notes. Dunkel/schwartz hybrid! Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Dark copper, dirty soft sand colored head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation. Pale roasted malt nose, slightly vegetal. Soft tootsie roll like chocolate malt aspect on the tongue. Certainly malty, slightly sticky. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Seems to pick up a little lactose like sweetness at the finish, as it warms. Standard fare, but fairly solid.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Thanks Pivnizub. Chestnut, brown creamy head. Sweet malt nose. Toffe, roast, heather and a hint chocolate balanced by herbal hops. Medium body, light foamy mouthfeel. Sweet aftertaste.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear, amber coloured, small and very stable head that sticks to the glass; sweetish-caramelly to malty aroma, a little fruitiness is also detectable, a distinctive touch of toasted/roasted malt as well; sweetish flavour with a little bitterness, soft MF; sweet-malty, caramelly finish with a little dash of roastmaltiness, that supports the delicate, chocolatey bitterness in the aftertaste. A decent, pleasant Dunkel, despite of its stupid name.........
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
(bottle, with thanks to pivnizub) Clear, dark amber colour with a rather short foamy beige head. Slightly sweet, dark malty and slightly roasted aroma with caramel and cacao powder and dense hints of dried fruits and herbal hops. Initially sweet and moderately roast-malty taste, drying out towards the finish, which is quite bitter and roasty with caramel and notes of chocolate in the aftertaste. Slim-bodied but pretty drinkable stuff.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A really nice and very drinkable dunkel. A bit of fruit intermingles nicely with a light bit of dark cocolate and caramel with just a bit of sweet toffee. This goes down so smooothely, and is so light in body, that next thing you know the bottle is empty, leaving you craving something more.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This comes across a bit thin for me. The body is a deep caramel color that reflects the sweet nose. Nice frothy beige head, while it lasts. Thin bodied, the flavor is a diluted caramel with some nutty bitterness and a light earthy hopping. The finish is watery but sweet. One could drink several of these before realizing what had happened. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Wine Cellars, Costa Mesa CA<font size=-1>
