Commercial Description:
Dark chocolate in color, you can see a wonderful reflection if you hold it up to the light. It is round and soft with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly roasted malted barley. A satisfying, malty taste, with coffee-ish tones and a hint of plummy fruitiness in the finish. Complex and beautifully balanced.

Pours a very dark amber body. Aroma is earthy and chocolately but also caramel. Flavor is the same. Finishes extremely smooth, but almost feels watery. It avoids it because there’s complexity here. Good stuff.

Big tan, creamy head over beautifully dark red/purple body. Aroma of very sweet malts, with notes of syrup and hay. Nice. The taste is again very sweet and malty, but is soon dominated by a smoky hay-like flavour, which lingers and fades. Subtle, yet complex, and very interesting. An excellent lager! (0.5l bottle in glass.)

The color is a very clear red/mohogany with a big off-white head. The aroma is dominated my malt, with toffee and roasty overtones. The tatse is similar, but has some chocolate a fruity tones as well. It still finsihes relatively dry with some nuttiness and bitterness in the aftertaste.

A better Dunkel than any of the other I have tried. Malty with coffe overtones. I guess I’m just not a Dunkel kind of beer taster. They don’t make me want to finish the glass.

Pours ruby red with a generous off tan head that laces the glass nicely throughout the sampling. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, and pepper radiate from this one initially. As the beer settles, some nice mellow clove like qualities emerge. Taste is of roses, cherries, and some tangy oranges. As the beer warms up, some nice chocolatey nutty notes begin to emerge. Finish is grassey and a bit bitter but not overwhelming. Full tingy mouthfeel.

Bottle. pours a clean, deep brown color. Smells of caramel malts. Real clean mouthfeel, lots of malty flavors and hints of chocolate and fruit. A bit nutty.
