Growler at the pre-DLD party at Flossmoor, thanks bwkrieger for a chance to taste this: (Rating #3600)
Clean caramel hue with a lasting frothy head and left very nice lace upon the glass. The aroma has notes of roasted and caramel malt, walnut, grassy and leafy hop, earthy yeast esters. The taste starts with sweet malt and some fruity acidity, grassy and nutty finish. Got sort of one-dimensional after a while however. The mouth feel is smooth and soft, chalky finish. Not too bad specially for the style.

I purchased a 1/2 gallon growler and went home tp try it. Poured dark mohagany color with little to no head. Aroma is quite musty and also sweet. Taste is smooth with malt, toffee and coffee flavor leaving with a dry smokey aftertaste. Overall a pretty decent brew and look forward to trying other beers from the Calumet Brewery.

Mystery growler at Cellars thanks to Skyview. Dark brown color with a thin head. Slightly smokey aroma and something like chalk. The chalky, chewiness carries over to the taste, which pairs with a sweet malt base. A little dark fruit (cherry).

This is a very nice dunkel. Not the world’s best, the Strahov Monastary does one better as well as Dum in Prague. Nice roasted malt aroma. No hop presence in the flavor or aroma. Medium sweet, with some toffee, light smoke, some sugar and a touch of chocolate. Just a little thinner than I would like it, but the palate is fine for the style.
