Commercial Description:
This is a classic beer made with special malts and raw materials that produce its amber color, as well as its body and rather dry, light character that distinguishes it from other dark beers. In contrast to the general perception that traditional dark beers are bitter and “heavy,” Bavaria Dark has very different characteristics, due to its hops content. Bavaria Dark was launched in 2001.

canned (thanks tbone_!). Rubyish amber colour with mediumsized brown lively bubbly head, that disappears quite fast. Aroma is maize, mild metal, and some grainyness. Also some mild roasted notes. Flavour is mildly roasted malts with some mild dark fruits and mild syrup. A quite pleasant dar beer, which is a bit too sweet for my taste though.

Amber-nut brown color, small off-white head. Aroma of licorice and caramel. Light caramelly brew. There are hints of licorice and cardboardish hops in the flavor. Similiar than some Portuguese dark beers.

Dark brown mahogany with an Ok head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and sweetness - "hvidtøl" and caramel. The flavour has sweetness, notes of roasted malt, light citrus, caramel and a slightly dry finish. A bit weak, but otherwise quite OK.

Can from TBone, thanks! Dark brown color. Malty caramelly aroma. Grainy sweetish caramelly flavor with apple. Somewhat thin and sticky, but not unpleasant.

canned; courtesy of DomTom - clear and bright colour under a persistent and firm beige foam; aroma of biscuit and cola; sweet and thin malt body with a light tartness; corny and caramelish aftertaste - very poor

Schizophrenic caramel sometimes thinking its supposed to be acrid and metallic…Not a pleasant sight…
