Bottle, 5.6%. Weak fruity aroma. Clear dark brown colour. Nice stable creamy tan head. The flavour is roasted with some barley bitterness. Vinous hint.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a clear, brown beer with a small, off-white head. Rather vegetal aroma with nuts, toffee and hints of coffee. The flavor has buttery coffee, chocolate and some nuts. A bit low on bitterness, but not too low. Medium body, smooth. Caramel and coffee in the end. A pleasant one. 110128

Bottle (purchased at the brewery): Deep chestnut-amber coloured, big, slowly diminishing fluffy off-white head; solid sweetish-malty and a bit dryer toasted-malty nose with a fruity touch; fizzy MF, moderate sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; dryish bitter-toasted finish. Not unpleasant..........

(bottle) Clear, dark brown coloured hue with ruby spots and a big but diminishing frothy off-white head. Light-sweet and delicately toasted malty aroma with a subtle berry-fruity touch. Medium-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a fizzy carbonation. Toast-malty and slightly fruity taste with shy notes of caramel; moderately dry and shy toasty finish with a little bitterness. Not an overly convincing Dunkel (26.08.08).

Bottle, thanks MIP. neutral nose. Chestnut, creamy low head. Light roast, molassis, herbal finish. Sticky mouthfeel, medium body. Uninspired.
