Dinkelacker Dark

Brewed by Dinkelacker-Schwaben Bräu
Style: Dunkel
Stuttgart, Germany

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Mahogany color with no head. Slight aroma of malt syrup and watery grain. The taste is a weird mix between being cloyingly sweet and the dead-dryness of a grainy lager. Nothing I’d get again

Aroma is interesting- sweet and salty, with a hint of soy sauce and even some berry notes. Flavor is full and rich, malty, sweet, toasty, with a bit of caramel and no perceptible bitterness. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but not watery. I like it!

This is nice. Surprisingly full flavored. Aroma has roasted malt and toasted bread. Dark brown color with low carbonation. Flavor is roasted grain. They did a good job with this. Great body, especially for the style.

From a twelve ounce bottle purchased at "Keller’s IA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours a very dark brown brew woth a thin, fine tan head and a sweet, malty aroma. Tastewise, it’s not at all a bad ber, but it’s not outstanding. But how many other $8.99 per twelve pack quality German beers are there?

I’m not usually a huge fan of Dunkels, but I really enjoyed this one. I had it on draft at Ratzsch’s, and I got the impression that some attention was paid to the beer (clean lines, correct temperature, beer-clean glassware). The beer was a dark brown with a red tinge and a very consistent and fairly abundant white head. Aroma was rather minimal, with some maltiness. Flavor was very good...not overly sweet malt, but a very pleasant light roasted notes. Mouthfeel was good, but I didn’t find this beer extremely drinkable which may have been in anticipation of the large meal that was coming behind that beer.

great beer. brown pour. nice dark taste. a little chocolate flavor. goes down smooth

Light brown pour with a small off white ring for a head with no lacing. Not as sweet as I feared. Dry roasted malt and hoppy aftertaste. Nothing great but easy to drink.

(bottle) Nice slight yeasty aroma. Appearance is a dull see thru brown. Flavor is a clash of water and hop bitterness. Nothing to rave about, but smooth and drinkable. Its healty but definetly not one to reccomend to fans of the dunkel style.
