Large head, creamy colour, slowly diminishing, nice ruby-brown body, clear. Moderate malt aroma, toasted, toffee, dough, nutty aroma. Honey sweetness, toasty flavor, dark grain and a weak coffee taste. Malt dryness, finish bitter, medium body. More bitter than other Bavarian dunkel, different but elegant.

Farblich ist es braun, die Schaumkrone hält mittelmäßig. Geschmacklich ist es schön Erfrischend süß-fruchtig-malzig im Nachgeschmack etwas bitter-fruchtig. Fazit: Intensives Bier das nicht nur lecker sondern auch interessant schmeckt, lohnt sich! Test vom 31.10.2010 Noten: 12,12,11,11,12,12 - 11,70

It’s red mahogany with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of caramel, burnt sugar, nuts and milk chocolate. The flavor is moderately sweet with notes of burnt sugar, caramel, light chocolate, nuts, toast and the finish is slightly dry. A very nice dunkel.

Bottle at Rathskeller in Indy. The beer is a dark ruby-brown color with a medium light beige head that diminishes slowly. Rings of lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of caramel, roasted malt and fruit. Light-bodied with a toasty malt character and notes of caramel and sweet fruit. The finish is malty with a sweet roast aftertaste. Decent overall.

500ml bottle in a lager glass. Pours transparent brown with a light tan head. Aroma of caramel malts with a little nuttiness plus floral hops. Flavor about the same. Average texture. A decent beer.

Cherry red and clear. A small beige head soon becomes a ring. Flavors of dark fruit and wheat. Lots of malt and just a bit of background bitterness and spice. Some molasses. The finish added some chocolate covered cherries. This was understated and nice.

16.9 oz. bottle. Julio’s Liquors for $3.89 after Wild Six Discount. Red/ brown color with lively Co2. Very thin white head and spotty lace down the lager glass. Smells real nice, lots of roast. Pretty malty beer, with rich caramel and toffee notes initially and a nice Euro hop to add bitterness. Hazelnut notes. This was clearly a fresher bottle. Drier finish, this bottle was gone way to fast. This would be Supreme on draught. I could drink large amounts of this.

(bottle) deep, deep amber with small off white head. Aroma of roast malt. Flavor is sweetish, nutty flavor with maybe a hint of chocolate. Nice dunkel.

Bottle @ Dan’s. Reddish orange appearance with a tan head. Toasty, rich caramel, toffee aroma. Nice caramel, rich malty, toffee flavor. Nice.
