0.5l bottle. I love a good Dunkel, and this is one of the few around these parts that I can get my hands on. Clear brownish orange, tan head, decent lacing. Fantastic dark breaddy aroma. Flavor is huge smooth Munich malt. Pudding-like, it is so smooth. Excellent extraction. Liquid bread. Why can’t American brewer’s make their Dunkels like this one? Hmmm? I guess the people rating this beer have access to tons of Dunkels or don’t like them much, because this is fantastic!

This one was a nice surprise. Served in a 10 ounce glass at the Drafting Room, Exton (I’m not sure why this one was a 10 ounce serving). Nice deep brown hazy pour with aromas of heavy caramel malt, almonds, brown sugar, toffee, cabernet. Dense velvety palate, with great caramel/toffee malt flavor, coupled with nuts, brown sugar, cabernet, and even a dark chocolate sensation. Wonderful.

Clear chestnut brown color, topped by a couple inches of soft foamy light tan suds. Decent head retention and spotty lacing. Smooth sweet and creamy malt aroma. Well rounded blend of sweet and drier malt flavors - caramel, chocolate, toasted grain, and an earthy rye-like taste. Lightly spicy and floral hop bitterness through out, a little more prominent in the finish. Great balance. Medium body, very smooth and creamy mouthfeel.

Solid auburn with a dark umber glow. Medium and compact light tan foam. Lace sticks in skimpy strings but keeps a solid skim and collar the entire session. Aroma is pretty solid with light roasty malting and nutty breads. A bit toasty and drizzled with caramel; always dry yet sweetly sided with the bread tone. Taste is about the same as what the smell eludes to which stands among a good caramel, nutty bread tone with dustings of cocoa, wood, and drying nuttyness and pretzeled breadings. Fluffy and firm carbonation thats clean and gripping to the point of good natured drinking. Medium body with a solid finish of nuts, toasty breadyness, and a light mineral spicey woodish hop thing. A very solid beer. Munich malts make the bread tones evident and the extra darker toasty nuttyness gives it an almost porter-esk character. Quite a nice treat. Spendy though.
