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.

Bottle sampled on 11/8/06: Pours a transparent dark copper mahogany with a wispy-lacing white head. Dry, toasty, grainy aroma has an authentic German lager profile. Body starts lightly sweet and caramely toward a grainier toasty dark malty finish. Decently balanced and authentic.

Bottle... Deep, clear copper lager with a large, frothy, off-white head. Excellent, creamy retention. The nose and flavor are of chocolate, caramel malt, aluminum and very light maple syrup. Medium-bodied and watery with lively carbonation. Finishes clean, but thin.

Poured a clear deep copper-brown color with a thin off-white head. Malty chocolate and fig aroma. The aroma was sweet and fruity. The flavor contained some dried fruity notes. Malty with a clean finish.
