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.

Poured a nice copper red with a one finger frothy tan head. The aroma was sweet, a bit earthy, lager aroma fo sho, bready, basement earthy aromas. The flavor was lightly sweet, bready, malt dominant, very light hop presence, some raisin (?), basement feel is the best way I can describe it. Nice carbonation and finishes earthy with a very very mild hop bite. Easy drinker.

500ml bottle pours medium dark brown with a tan head. Dusty, old, dry nose of stale bread crust and dried Munich malt. Flavor is just as stale, dusty, dry, and old as the aroma, some toffee and light toasted malts tasted as well, but overall not really winning points, but I fear that this may be too old of a bottle.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown when held to the light. Aroma and flavor are mostly sweet malts, chocolate, and caramel. A classic Dunkel.

Bottle. Deep burgundy pour with an average head. Very nice doughy yeast aroma mixed with some malt but the flavor is lacking in my opinion. Mostly sweet. Smooth and completely drinkable but doesn’t stand out.

500mL bottle. Pours chestnut colored, capped with a thick tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, light chocolate and toffee. Sweet malt and grain flavors with some caramel, a little smoke, and rye. Creamy mouthfeel, with substantial carbonation. Very quaffable and tasty.
