I liked the flavor a lot better than the smell. It looked inviting with a frothy white head over a clear reddish brown body. The aroma had a bit of funk to it. Mostly caramel and malts but something that wasn’t quite right. Maybe it had been on the shelf too long. The flavor however had none of the funk. It was crisp, mostly malt and caramel, a touch of sourness and a bit of bitterness at the end. The finish was crisp. Nice beer.

bottled from AC. Dark brown color, clear, and a thick beige head. Sweet nose. Aroma is sweet with grains. Flavour is roasted malt with a bit of sweetness and bread. Straightforward simple but pleasant dunkel.

330ml Bottle. Pours a dark brown color with medium, fizzy head. Aroma is caramel and cereal malts. Taste is heavy on the roast grains with a hint of chocolate and nuts. Flavors then move into a slight grassy hops into the finishing. The beer is pretty light-bodied for a Dunkel, almost watery. Not terribly remarkable but a decent speciman.

Aroma is briming with sweet caramel malt and rich bready goodness.
Taste leads with caramel malt and follows with roasted grain. Some fruity yeast and alcohol esters add a little complexity. There is a subtle note of blackened malt as well. Finish is mostly sweet, but has a bit of grain-husk dryness.

This beer also comes with a different label saying that is is a Schwarzbier. It is not, it is a dunkel. However it is a pretty decent dunkel. Minerally, mild. Serving: Bottle

I was expecting this beer to be a little more smokey than it was, i guess i confused rauch and schwartz, which is dumb because i have had like 6 combined years of German. Good beer though once i got over the fact that it was a dunkel.

330mL Bottle -- Pours dark brown with a thin light tan head. Malty nose with aromas of toast, roasted barley, molasses, honey, and skunk. Decent palate but feels a bit thin.
