3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Brewbaker, Berlin, March 2009. No ABV stated. Very dark brown. Not that much head. Very chocolatey dunkel. Not too sweet. Doesn’t have the usual dunkel fat sweet malt. More hoppy character than the norm for the style too. Good if atypical (and nothing wrong with that).

Draft at the brewpub. Dark, nearly black-brown beer with beige head. Looks pretty. Nose of chocolate with notes of raisin and root beer. Mild bitterness balanced with mild bitterness, dark chocolate and dark fruit in the backdrop. Medium-dry with a roasty finish. Really outstanding.
