Bottle (333ml, thank You, joss !) Slightly hazy, brownish amber coloured, smaller off-white layer, quite dry malty, a bit roasted malty nose; light to medium bodied, moderate bitter-sweet flavour, burnt malt and milk-coffee in the dryish finish. Not very well balanced stuff...........

Bottle by 8.12. Nose nutty with toffee, earth, and herbal tones. Muddy light brown with an off-white. More of the same in the mouth, now with a slight candyish strain. Medium body.

Brown and clear with a slightly tanned, medium head. Refreshing, malty, a bit cereals, grass, yeast. Nothing special but really nice to drink.

Bottled 500ml. -Darker amber coloured, small off-white head, dusty caramel nose. Moderate malty, light roasty and caramel taste with mild fruity and light hoppy notes. Bitterish finish. Ok dunkel.

Leicht malzig und kaffeartig im Mittelteil, gut ausgeglichen. Der Nachgeschmack hält durchschnittlich lange und geht, wie das Bier im Ganzen, in Ordnung. Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,8,7,6,12,6 - 7,05

Small bottle as Premuim Dunkel, I also tried a bottle of Spezial Dunkel, they are the same. It is a bit sweet and rough for a dunkel.

courtesy of Philipp and Thomas - dark brown colour with a long lasting beige foam; decent lacing; aroma of prunes, coca and toasted malts; respectable malt backbone; some sweetness and fairly tasty; fizzy and with a slightly dry fruits and malty finish - balanced and pleasant

On tap. Color dark brown with small head. Aroma coffee, roasted malt.Taste chocolate, roasted malt, caramel.Great beer.

0.5 l bottle. Hazy dark amber color. Sweetish nutty aroma with hint of coffee and sulfur. The flavor is also sweetish and very nutty with some kellerbier like fruitiness and dark bread. Good beer, but this is mostly about straightforward nutty maltiness.

Bottle. Chocolate/molasses malt aroma. Dark brown color with moderate head. Sweet chocolate and molasses malt flavor with lightly bitter hops finish. Very nice dunkel.

Bottle, shared by fonefan. A slightly hazy, amber beer with a small, off-white to beige head sitting on top. Butterscotchy nose with roasted malts and some fruits. Roasted malts with butterscotch flavor in the back, a bit low on flavor maybe, and there’s also something reminiscent of cocoa. Medium body with pleasant carbonation level. Slightly acidic in the finish, but mostly caramel and roasted malts. A decent one, but I can easily do without butterscotch. 090822
