3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20Bottle. Light to moderate malt notes of roasted and caramel, light herbs and dough for the hops and yeast, with brown sugar and fig in the background. Head is small, fizzy, off-white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is clear rusty brown. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly sweet and acidic and faintly bitter. Palate is on the lighter side of medium, watery yet smooth and has a lively carbonation. Nothing outstanding in this Dunkel, but it’s absolutely true to style and is very easy to drink.

Bottle from Bierzwerg!
Slight gushing. Pours dark ruby red with high, soapy, short-lasting head. Smell is dark fruits, roasted malts and chocolate. Starts sweetish malty with lots of caramel and some dark fruits (plum). Middle part has some chocolate malts, paired with roasted malts and some caramel. Goes into a sweet caramelly finish with some coffee and roasted malts.

Bottle traded with Quack-Duck. Rather typical dunkel aroma. Caramel, dark bread, somenotes of raisins and chocolate, very shy roasted hints. The taste is unexpectedly dry, tart, with a light body and a rather strong bitterness. Flavourwise this is chocolate upfront with some roast in the finish. Refreshing but I’d prefer it more chewy.

ersma: die benamung ist nicht immer einfach bei der brauerei. auf meiner flasche steht „conatus dunkel“, es handelt sich aber wohl um das „truchtlinger dunkel“. hat beim european beer stat award 2009 und 2011 silber bekommen. im gegensatz zu einer dlg-prämierung weiß man hier, dass das ganze zumindest gut trinkbar sein wird.
sehr dunkel, fast schwarz. viel beige-grauer schaum, der stabil ist.
der geruch ist überraschend dezent nach etwas röstmalz und lakritz.
der antrunk bringt röstmalz, toffee, karamell, lakritz und pflaume mit, dazu eine malzige süße. die mitte ergänzt das ganze um etwas hopfen, sowie schoko und kaffee. der abgang wird zunehmend herber, nur noch wenige süße aromen sind vorhanden.
die flasche ist klar, aber auch etwas langweilig gestaltet.
fazit: viele röststoffe, vom aroma eher ein stout, auch wenn es untergärig ist. probierenswert.

3.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thank you, Julia Dubowy, for bringing this back from Germany. Hazy dark ruby amber with an ivory head that has good retention, swirls of lace that run back into the glass. Aroma is understated. Taste is toasted caramel malt that grows through the palate until it is pushed aside by carbonation fizz and light bittering. Malt re-emerges at the finish. Not a big deal, but quite drinkable., and enjoyable with a spicy meal.

It’s brown with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of caramel, roasted malt, burnt sugar and a touch of syrup. The flavor has a moderate sweetness and notes of caramel, burnt sugar, roasted malt, a little dark syrup and licorice - a very nice dunkel.
