Had this one in Bayreuth. Poured a dark brown with a small tan head. Nose of chocolate and coffee, with heavy malts. Slightly sweet. A very nice Dunkel

Smallish offwhite head which quickly subsides, dark, barely translucent mahogany body. Aroma is fainly sweet and soapy. (Uh? In a dunkel?) Taste is odd, mostly like licorice with notes of metal, malts, and earthiness. An interesting beer, and quite drinkable. Not sure what type this really is; seems to me more like a schwarzbier. (Was called Süffiges Dunkles on the menu, but from Bayreuther Aktien. Hope it’s the same beer.)

Tap, at Bayreuther Brauereischaenke, Bayreuth. Jan 2005. Chestnut, good pale beige head and moderate condition. Initially fruity sweet in the nose with some developing roasted malt, soft and sweet in the mouth with hints of coffee and malt. Dry chalky finish with more coffee roast and even touches of chocolate at the end.
