Draft @ Flossmoor Station, Flossmoor, IL. Pours a dark brown color with a small off-white head. Has a slightly roasted malty fruity caramel aroma with some grainy hints. Fruity malty caramel flavor with some weak hints of chocolate. Has a fruity malty grainy caramel finish.

Sample at Flossmoor. Dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Malty and fairly roasty aroma; does not smell like a lager. Roasty and caramelly malt flavor that is tasty and also is not reminiscent of a lager. Won’t get any complaints out of me there. I like dunkels that taste more like American browns.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Flossmoor, Illinois. Hazy dark brown pour with a foamy, tan head, a light malt and soy sauce nose. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, soy sauce and cherry dominate this one. Soft finish. Nice!

Red-brown, beige cover. Sweet sugar, burnt caramel aroma. Taste is again burnt sugar, toasty, nuts.

A - Some dark roasty malt, coffee, chocolate, banana, lager yeast A - Brown, almost black into a MORE than sufficient imperial pint. F - Sweet chocolate, malt, caramel, fruit, and breadiness. P - Crisp lagery finish. Sweet , roasty caramel. Not bodied well. O - This was definitely a chore to drink in my book. A pint was too much. Generous 3, as it wasn’t bad all around, and I have had worse.

Tap at Flossmoor. Dark brown pour with red highlights. Offwhite head. Aroma of caramel and toast, malty taste. Pretty good stuff.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours a brown copper color with a beige head that laces the glass. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, sweet roasted malt, hops, banana, and dark fruit. Flavor matches the nose pretty well, with more of a yeasty, malty, bready character to it. Medium bodied, with a roasty finish. In the midst of sampling all of the beers available at the brewpub, this one didn’t stand out at all. But I should admit that dunkels are not my favorite beers, and this is not bad at all.

UPDATED: NOV 28, 2009 Tap at the pub. Pours mostly brown with some nice lighter colored edges. Nice clean malty toasted flavors and aromas. Easy drinking body. I really love well made German style lagers from American breweries.

Too sweet by half and very, very cloying even to my old, played-out tastebuds. Very sweet caramel flavors, toffee. chocolate, and just a hint of hop bitterness in the very far distance. Just not easy to drink.

Tap at flossmoor. Pours dark brown with some red highlights. notes of wheat, bread, toast, chocolate. ok, not great.
