On draught at Bow and Arrow. Very malty and sweet. Very different than it was prior to Cool brewing it. I like the new taste. Compares favorably to Munich dunkles. Better than many original dunkles I tried in Austria. Overall an excellent version.

UPDATED: APR 8, 2012 On Tap: Haven’t reviewed this since Michael moved the bewing to Cool. Nice mahogany color with ruby highlights, puffy off white cap lasts and laces the glass well. Aroma is text book Munich dunkel - soft aromas of bread, cocoa, nuts, a bit of sweetness and earthy. Medium bodies, soft silky mouth feel, big dose of Munish cara malts in front...bready, cocoa, nutty, dark toffee, a bit of herbal-spice from the Hallerteau undertones....goes to a clean crisp finish with a toasty-bready after taste. A top flight Dunkel and one of my favorite drinks. I wish Michael would bottle or can this for home consumption, it;s a classic Munich dark.

Smells of malt and the taste has an interesting border of light sweetness, fills in with hops on the first breath out.

Pours dark dark brown with very satisfying foamy light brown head. Delicious beer. Complex dark malts give off brown sugar, cherry, toast. Balanced well with hops. Bright, fresh flavours.

Beer sampling at beerbistro in Toronto on saturday night. I was told to look for Denisons Weissbier unfortunatly this is as close as I would come. But this is enjoyable in its own right. Pours a nice brown and tastes of dark fruit, brown sugar, nuttiness, with a hoppy finish. it was lighter than it looks and very nice

Very interesting citric flavours and dark fruit. Not what I was expecting from a Dunkel, but pleasantly surprised, really.

On tap at beerbistro. Pours a clear reddish brown with small tan head. Aroma of caramel, nuttiness and a bit of dark fruit. Nuttiness is more pronounced in the flavour and has a bit of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Nice.

On tap at Volo. Pours a clear dark mahogany body with a thick tan head. Cocoa and malt, slight coffee hit. Roasted malt is thick, slight smoky sugar notes finished nicely with a nutty dry bitterness. A very well made dunkel that reflects German excellence. I doubt it could be picked apart from traditional dunkels. Well done.
