Well, the folks at Rowlands Calumet Brewery were kind enough to FedEx four growlers to NYC and so I gladly partook in their fine wares. The Dark is a cross between an American Dark and a Munich Dunkel. It is cloudy, unpasteurized and looks exactly like a Sam Smiths Nut Brown Ale. It is a dark LAGER, not a stout, and tastes of chocolate malt, with a touch of hops. It is really easy drinking and I’ve polished off the entire growler already! Bob Rowland has scored a <font color=’#FF3300’> direct bullseye </font> with this magnificent dunkel!

On a trip to Lake Geneva, WI, I tried this quixotic brew. It’s fairly sweet and drinkable, and what it lacks in complexity, it makes up for in pure drinking pleasure. A true beergasm! I didn’t have enough of Calumet’s other beers to rate them, but they seemed good as well.

This is just about the best thing since sliced bread! A true dunkel-lover’s heaven, with a hearty body and taste that’s sweet, yet not cloying. The malt comes through in buckets, but is just the right mix of chocolate and whatever else is in this to make it all work. So glad me and some friends made the short trip out to the brewery as this beer is only on tap!

It’s damn good. The chocolate malt is the most prominent flavor and then there are the caramel undertones. When combined I would almost think that some celestial being came to earth to brew it. And it comes in a sweet 1/2 gallon jug. Finally, something good comes from Chilton. It’s perfect for a night on the town.

I liked this beer very much. This is my first beer that was not an American macro. Very good on draught.

This beer is a good one. Very dark and chocolately after taste. Comes in pretty half gallon glass jugs. Straight from Chilton Wisconsin.
