Commercial Description:
Select Dunkel is a traditional German styled dark lager, brewed in accordance with Germany's RheinheitsgebotPurity Law of 1516. What makes Select Dunkel distinctive is its smooth refreshing drinkable flavor and its clean finish. We think you'll agree that Christian Moerlein Select Dunkel is quite simply a better dark beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear deep copper color with a small beige head. The aroma is roasted malt with biscuit and moderately sweet caramel and a hint of hops. The flavor is mildly sweet, caramel malt, roasted, and light chocolate. Medium bodied, a little watery.

12 oz bought from Grocery Outlet,Salem,OR. Dark brown beer, with a lovelly looking ,thick,light tan head. Ok malty aromas, sweet malts, a little boozy? Nice semi-sweet malty flavours, bittersweet chocolate flavours in the end., slightly toasty. Pretty darned good on the palate, light but still tasteful.Not a bad dunkel, drinkable.

pours a dark copper with a very quickly dissappearing yellowy creme head. aroma is roasted nuttiness, some chocolate, some malt, a touch of greens/herbs, gentle whiskey, and some caramel. taste is a little coffee bean, a little green pepper, toast, and just a bit sour. mid-light bodied with light prickly carbonation. dries out nicely at the finish. to me, dunkels are kindof a crapshoot, and this one was just okay. not amazing, but a decent session beer.

Dark caramel nose with a chocolate hint. A mahogany color with a beige head that didn’t stick. Near medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. The flavor is much of a porter - some lightly toasted malt and some coffee. The finish is neither here nor there, and there’s not much bitter. Still, it drinks rather well. After taste is a bit burnt. Not necessarily a bad thing.

350 ml bottle from Bevmo. Copper brown with almost no head. Faint bready aroma. Crisp bready taste with some slight citrus taste.
